Smallest Keychain Compass?

[Scott Free]

I'm looking for a small keychain-size compass for EDC. The smaller the better. I just need the basics along with a way to attach it to a keychain.

Any ideas?

Go to REI or EMS and look at the gadgets near the counter.
I kind like the one that has a thermometer on it also; you can attach it to a zipper.
There are other compasses that attach to a watch.

Check here they have one that is built into the carabiner and one a little bigger on the carabiner 's fob.They also have spy capsules and alot of other what looks like good key chain building stuff. The only draw back is it's seven dollars for shipping up to 50 bucks and free after that. http://www.bisondesigns.com/aluminum/carabiners/carabiners.htm

If money is no object, ya can't get any smaller than the 15mm NATO compass - check it out at:

Doesn't have a lanyard system although it does have a ridge around its casing on which you can twist secure a loop of brass wire and fashion a lanyard.

I just picked up the one blackeye4you was talking about this afternoon for $1.47 at Walmart. My idea was to slide it off the webbing and slide it on my watchband -- and it works. The slot is 20mm wide. Seems about the same quality as the Suunto clip-on compass (which cost me $8) and the rubber slide-on is more comfortable on my wrist.
