I was questioned a couple times about the Xcelite screwdrivers but they were deeded to be ok because the bits were under than some maximum length for things that could be used for stabbing I guess. Never mind that they were designed to fit into a handle that was plainly visible. Same with Xacto knife, but a pocket knife was a no-go.
I have an Xcelite screwdriver and nut driver kit I got from my Dad. It is probably from the 1950s. It is so much better than the quality of tools today. I also have his Snap-On tool chest and even some Blue Point sockets and wrenches. Plus a couple Snap On torque wrenches.
In 1996 my toolkit was being screened at Reagan National in DC, when the screener suddenly jumped up and yelled “It’s got wires in it!”.
Of course it was just test leads and BNC cables I use in my electronics work. All coiled up and neatly ty-wrapped.
But the had to have it inspected and cleared the area because it might be a bomb................
