Hey everyone! I've noticed that my stair railings have been getting pretty loose, and I really want to tighten them up again. I found a screw nut behind the cover that seems to be the culprit, but I'm not sure what kind it is or what tool I should use to tighten it. Any tips? Also, how do I add a photo here? Thanks!

You can use a flat head screwdriver along with a hammer. Just insert the screwdriver into the topmost slot of the nut and give it a light tap with the hammer. That should help tighten it up!
I was just thinking that they have a tool specifically for this kind of nut, a conduit nut wrench might do the trick too. Check it out here: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-3-Piece-Set-Locknut-Wrench-Tool-Kit-Fits-0-50-in-0-75-in-and-1-in-Locknuts-LNW-3PC/307551340.
