Leatherman Tread Onboard

[PurplePencil]

Has anyone had an experience with the Leatherman Tread, and boarding? For any who do not know what the Leatherman Tread is, it is a TSA approved multitool bracelet with no knife. https://www.leatherman.com/tread-425.html
I have flown multiple times with it, but upcoming will be my first cruise since I got it. Any ideas of if security will confiscate it?

I honesty don't know, I would contact DCL. However, if the TSA doesn't have a problem with it I would assume that would be good enough for Disney.

Thanks for tip.... I too was looking at the wristband. Kinda heavy, but very versatile. Would go well with a fitbit tracker with adaptable wristbands.

They make a watch adapter for it as well (http://chronolinks.com/treadlinks/) which might work with the fitbit Blaze. I think the Blaze uses standard 22mm pins.

Yes I am aware of the watch adapter and Blaze....

• sadly the Blaze lacks the GPS of the Surge I own. The Blaze requires your phone's location services for awareness. Perhaps a future Blaze GPS version in a few years.
• I'm surprised the cost of the Chronolinks adapter... https://www.amazon.com/ChronoLinks-Leatherman-Tread-Watch-Adapter/dp/B01AAWS70C

Should be no issue at all. I usually just throw any items like a pocket knife or multitool into the toiletries bag and see it on board. Even if you wear it through security and it sets off the metal detector, there isn't anything threatening on it, and I'm sure most people would have no idea what it is just by looking at it.

We live in Portland, OR, where Leatherman tools are made. Call or email them (leatherman.com) if you have concerns. The Tread is a creative tool that could be a bracelet or form of jewelry...awesome for backpackers/hikers. Pricy ($200ish) but so clever. The founder's story is worth a read. His products have spawned a lot of knock-offs.

So you would suggest putting it with the items that are delivered to the room?

If you want to be sure of no hassle I would do that.

I would probably just wear it to security and drop it in my carry-on bag as it goes through x-ray (I assume there is enough stainless steel to set off the alarm on the metal detector). It looks like a gothic styled bracelet so I doubt you would even have anyone look at it weird if at all. Plus, as you mentioned there isn't a knife. And it isn't a tool box or power tool which is prohibited by DCL listed here. .

Thanks! That's what I usually do at the airport, but wasn't sure

That's for the Black Version, stainless steel is less

I wouldn't. I would wear it, and if it set off the metal detector just put it in a little bin. They'll see a funky chunky bracelet.

Thanks for the question b/c it alerted me to something that at first I thought was silly and then I saw was useful. And DH would absolutely positively love it. So thanks for spending my money for me!

I like the guy who left a 5* review and included pictures of him sticking it in various bolts and screws on a helicopter. Cuz' why not!
