Looking over the multitude of options.

Leaning towards the CRKT Viva as I'm looking for something TSA compliant.

Any opinions or first hand experience flying with any of these?

The Niteize DoohicKey multitool gets really bad reviews on Amazon for being wimpy and soft.

Still leaning towards the CRKT. It's soft steel, but purpose built to take the abuse without chipping and not rust. Short read on 3CR13 Blade forums http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/456373-CRKT-s-quot-3CR13-quot-steel-in-the-MAK-1

This is the one I have on my key chain. Can't have a blade due to frequent trips through TSA. The one I have isn't made by leatherman, but is instead titanium, but is the exact same design.

this one can be picked up at the local computer shops - not sure if TSA compliant though?

I wrongly made an assumption that all folding multitools were not TSA compliant. I guess I'll have to do a little more research. It's obvious anything with a blade is taboo.

hahaha

I added two of these to my latest order for $7.68 each as add-on items.

Still looking at folder multitools sans blades that are worth considering.
