E-Brake Spin Turn Knob

I want to modify my e-brake so that it doesn't ratchet when I pull up on it. I've heard of a part called a spin turn knob. Basically you take off the OEM brake knob, remove the spring, and replace them with a spin turn knob. This way you can still lock the brake when you park, but it won't ratchet when you pull up while driving.
Has anyone else heard of this part? Does anybody know where I can get one? Has anybody done this?

Can't you just push the button when you pull up?

That's what I do now. It's rather bothersome and annoying. Sometimes I'm moving so fast I don't get the e-brake all the way down. It would be much easier if I could just give it a quick tug and not have to worry about the ratchet. I just need the brake on for only an instant to get the rear wheels to slip. When that happens I need both hands to steer.

there is a cheap way to do this if you want. you have to press your button and then drill a hole though it. then drop a cotter pin though it. if you want to use it to park, you have to remove it thouhg
