1. A tool, comprising:
a underbody wall structure having an internal wall and two side walls attached to two ends of the internal wall; and
a dual-latch mechanism coupled to the underbody wall structure, wherein the dual-latch mechanism comprises:
a first latch configured to moveably couple to the underbody wall structure via a first brace affixed to the internal wall;
a second latch configured to moveably couple to the underbody wall structure on a side opposite of the first latch, via a second brace affixed to the internal wall;
an integral connection translationally moveable with respect to the underbody wall structure and integrally connecting the first latch to the second latch, wherein moving the first latch in a first direction causes the second latch to move in the first direction, wherein the first latch, the second latch and the integral connection are a monolithic part; and
a handle connected to the first and second latches and the integral connection for pulling the monolithic part of the first and second latches and the integral connection from a first position in which the monolithic part is closer to the internal wall to a second position in which the monolithic part is farther from the internal wall,
wherein each of the first and second braces has a stop to prevent movement of the monolithic part of the first and second latches and the integral connection at certain points; and
wherein each stop is deflected downward as the integral connection is brought into contact therewith.
