Why do you want them with you ?

I'm guessing OP is travelling with hand luggage only

Tools are forbidden in hand luggage.

There's a pretty specific list of work tools. If other stuff was removed, I guess it was with the listed tools:-

A couple of bits of wire with clips attached will be fine on its own.

Interesting discussion. My thxs to all.
Never thought of looking on dot gov did I!
No mention of jump leads on the tool list so we will risk it with some old (cheap) ones.
The car is an auto that we are collecting for a tour, so himself wanted the leads.
