I bought the Losmandy tripod knob set to simplify the set up of my Losmandy G8 tripod. Now, I don't have to rely on Allen wrenches to to assemble my mount (which are fumbly and easy to lose or forget) as these knobs (which replace the small head Allen screws that require an Allen wrench) are threaded into the equatorial head then tightened when you assemble the mount and tripod together...the Knobs are big enough to give you a secure grip bare handed, however if you need to gain extra leverage the knobs have a socket where you can install an Allen wrench to help tighten or loosen the knob.
These should come as standard equipment, but since they don't, get em. Unless your mount is located on a pier in an observatory you need these, it really saves looking for the right hex wrench when you need it.
