Since my mom has an artificial leg she has to use this handle to get in and out of the truck, Ive only heard it referred to as the oh shit! Handle. Shes fairly hefty so its become loose over time. She has a habit of putting me down several times a day, so often that it contributed to my recent 3 year bout with moderate to severe depression. I offered to fix it and of course she says thats not something I can fix and it has to go to the mechanic shop to be fixed. I proceeded to take a look at the loose screws which were fairly odd to me. Round tops but with nubs for a hex ratchet along with the number 98. I checked the toolbox and found some similar attachments for a straight ratchet, of course the one that was currently attached was circular and hammered onto the damn thing so I spent about 15 minutes getting them apart. While I had nothing that said 98 in the box I found that a #7 was a perfect fit. So I proceeded to tighten those suckers down as far as they could go. Its sturdy enough for an ox now. Final score: Emmett 1 - Negative mom 0
