More than fuss, unless the wrenches and screwdrivers are all shorter than
7 in.

(http://wardsci.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_IG0009375) isn't a "tool", it's an
"instrument". There aren't any prohibitions on meters, fuses, and other
electronic bits insofar as they aren't bomb components, but don't expect
the screeners to know the difference between a power supply and an
altitude trigger.
Congrats on the new car; have a fun drive back to NC.
