Carry-on details
Allowed. Individual drill bits and driver bits have no blade or length restriction — they're small accessory pieces, not a hand or power tool in themselves.
Checked-bag details
Allowed. No restriction in checked baggage.
Special instructions
This covers the bits themselves. The drill they're used with is a power tool and must be checked, never carried on.
FAQ
- Can I carry drill bits separately from my drill?
- Yes — drill bits have no restriction on their own, even though the drill itself must be packed in checked baggage as a power tool.
