The mirror adjusting wrench that comes with the sextant is small and can easily be dropped and lost. Without it, adjusting the sextant would be very difficult. I finally decided to drill a small hold in the handle to accept a 3/8" diameter split ring. Anytime I take it out, I put a lanyard on it. It took me a while to find the small size split rings until my dog showed it to me (on his collar). You can get the small split rings in a pet supply store. Sam Chan
