It is what it is, but could be better
By Johnny LaGuardia
This is a decent solution for those who like to carry a little Swiss Army knife (about the size of a Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Pocket Knife), but don't want to check bags on a flight.
The eyeglass screwdriver on a knife this size is a good thing that I haven't seen before (normally I carry a Swiss+Tech UKCSB-1 Utili-Key 6-in-1 Key Ring Tool for that, but the Utili-key has a knife blade and so not permitted by the TSA). But it would be better imo if the screwdriver did not emerge from something that looks very like a knife blade.
The tweezers and toothpick are harder to remove in my sentiment that those on Victorinox knives. I likewise think the Wegner tweezers are not as well-made as Victorinox ones.
I would prefer to see the nail file with the sort of blunt and shaped end that may double as a little screwdriver, like on the Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Pocket Knife. Less pointy would in all probability be better for the TSA, too.
In short, while I think it could be better, this is the only option I recognise of for taking anything like a Swiss Army Knife on a plane.
Includes a little black sleeve to store the tool.

great journeying tool - too bad discontinued item
By michael camp
This is a handy tool for those times when you split a nail while hurriedly reassembling yourself after passing through the TSA checkpoints and the scanner jams everyone's stuff in a heap. My 1st tool was stolen by somebody while I was being questioned by a TSA Barney Fife wannabe (BFw) regarding a portable disk in my roller board. To reduce your interactions with the BFw's at TSA, open the implements -- never call them blades lest various Barney Fife's descend uponst you seeking permission to take the bullet out of their pocket -- and place the tool in a discerned bowl. That ordinarily enables the scanner to view it and pass it without your having to interact with the bureaucrats.

Quality is NO Victorinox
By MaddogChiu
It's a outstanding conception to no have a knife to meet the TSA restrictions. However, it's basically a glorified nail clipper if you ask me. The scissors' metal gauge seems a lot thinner that it may hardly clip my nails which is what it's suppose to be doing. As my title had mentioned, it's no Victorinox. If it has the same quality as Victorinox knife, that would have been great. I'm not sure if it's worth the cash for a Wenger.
