Can you bring metal drywall screws box on a plane?

Version covered

Drywall screws have sharp points in bulk; keep the box shut and protect other baggage contents. This answer covers the ordinary form of the item at a US checkpoint. A separate liquid, battery, blade or chemical in the kit may have its own rule.

Carry-on baggage

TSA does not name a box of drywall screws separately. Their sharp points and quantity can affect a carry-on screening decision; this page does not confirm cabin acceptance.

Checked baggage

Yes. A closed box of “Metal drywall screws box” may be checked; keep the points contained so they cannot puncture baggage or injure an inspector.

Prepare for screening

• Measure the working end and check for blades, points, fuel or batteries. Cover exposed edges and prevent movement in the bag.
• Inspect the kit and its packaging.
• Compare the result with airline and route conditions.
