Flying with tools

road dog

Hi all,just wondering has anyone ever flown with hand tools in checked luggage to uk?

Is it ok to do this or do I need to notify them first?


The airline is Ryanair ,thanks.

You shouldn't have a problem, they really only care if you pack explosives or the like .....

You won't get through security with anything that could conceivably used as a weapon so, for example, a hammer or a screwdriver would be out.

Also check the weight. Remember its extra for every kg over!!

It will only be a small amount of tools in checked luggage so hopefully it's ok.

Sorry, I misread your first post.

There's no problem if they're in checked luggage.
