Hello guys, pretty much the title, does any of you familiar with this type of knob, how can it be fixed?

There is usually a set screw that you tighten and loosen with a hex key.

Where do i get it if i dont have the key? Also the hole is perfectly round.

You can usually find a selection of hex keys at the local
hardware store. Take the knob with you to check the size.
 
When the set screw it tightened, it will hold the knob
on the shaft firmly.

You think home depot would have it?
 

 

[Avro_Arrow]

Yes, they probably would.
 
You can buy them singly or in sets.
 
Sometimes they are referred to as "Allen Keys".

Or sometimes...    Allen's Keys.

If there is a setscrew on the side of the knob somewhere that's what you need. It may also just be glued on, in that case you'll need a good metal to metal adhesive, epoxy may work, I'd use a anaerobic metal adhesive from Loctite myself.

I did fix it with hex key, thanks for the input.
