The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
Just bring a pair of side cutters with you. Snip snip and you’re good to go!
Much simpler than bringing a clothespin. Or binder clip.
I’d never go to a hotel without my leatherman with me.
Ever tried flying with it? I wanted to take mine on a flight but didn’t want to lose it so left it at home. Would they allow it on planes?

Yup, the last line holds true. Had a mini multi tool taken because I forgot about it in my bag - it definitely has less than a 4 inch blade.
It’s the scissors that can be less than four inches; it says no knives of any length.
