I'll be flying soon and prefer not to check baggage. There's a few deals out there and am considering doing some christmas shopping. Will they let you board w/a screwdriver set? Socket wrench set? etc...

this is what google AI fetched:
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows tools that are 7 inches or shorter in lengthto be carried on in your luggage. This includes small tools like screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers. Power tools and tools longer than 7 inches must be packed in your checked baggage.
Here are some additional tips for traveling with tools:
Batteries: Separate any batteries and pack them in your carry-on.
Sharp edges: Tools with sharp edges must be properly sheathed.
Multi-tools: Multi-tools with scissors less than 4 inches may be allowed in your carry-on, but multi-tools with knives of any length are not.
Curling irons: Curling irons and curling wands are usually allowed in your carry-on, but make sure they are completely cool before packing. You can use their heat-resistant case or cover, or wrap them in a heat-resistant pouch.
Stoves: Empty and cleaned stoves can be carried on or checked in, but simply emptying the canister or stove is not enough.
The TSA officer has the final say on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
