"The tools are made from wear- and corrosion-resistant 420J2 stainless steel and are packaged into a multitool that measures 2.78 x 1 x 0.52 inches when closed and 4.1 inches when deployed, weighing just 2.38 oz. All the tools are functional: the pliers handle all the tasks I'd expect from a similarly sized tool, the screwdrivers fit a wide array of fasteners, and the bottle opener and SIM tray eject tool are nice touches for a tool designed with travel in mind."
"It just so happened that I was flying to and from Spain, so I decided to find out. Flying out of Manchester Airport in the UK, I had the NexTool in my small carry-on bag, and it went through the scanners without any issues. Wondering if it might have been overlooked in a bag packed with chargers, cables, and other items, I decided to test it further on my return flight."
"NexTool's mini multitool fits the bill perfectly. It has no blade and features needle-nose pliers with wire cutters, tiny scissors, a bottle opener, a SIM extractor, and Phillips head and flathead screwdrivers. There's also a handy keyring for attaching it to your keys."
Everyday carry multitools are often confiscated at airports, creating a need for travel-safe alternatives. NexTool's Mini Sailor Pliers Lite is blade-free and includes needle-nose pliers with wire cutters, tiny scissors, a bottle opener, a SIM extractor, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and a keyring. The tools use wear- and corrosion-resistant 420J2 stainless steel; the closed dimensions are 2.78 x 1 x 0.52 inches, deployed length is 4.1 inches, and weight is 2.38 oz. All tools perform as expected for the size. The device passed through Manchester Airport scanners in a carry-on, and a deliberate return-flight test was attempted from Alicante.
