This tiny supercheap Gerber multitool comes with me on trips

Remember that “TSA safe” means neither “guaranteed not to be confiscated by the TSA”, nor “permitted through security at airports outside the USA”.

I had a nice little Leatherman multitool, with no knife blades and “TSA approved”, which consistently got through TSA checkpoints (occasionally after a bit of explanation) but was confiscated the first time I passed through an airport security checkpoint outside the US (during a connection in Narita).
