Don't bring it in your carry-on. That would be asking for trouble. You can carry just about any kind of tool in your checked luggage. I've carried my tuning kit that way several times. I can even bring my unloaded hand guns with me by declaring them at check in and letting them put them in the luggage compartment.

Hi all,
I will be traveling next week and was considering bringing my tuning hammer along. What has your experience been with bringing a tuning hammer either in your carry on on the plane or in your luggage.
Just didn't want to get it confiscated as a weapon of some sort.
Thank you,
