    Rotzog is correct -- you take the small end of the plastic sleeve (screw finder) and place it over the screwdriver shank. If you look in the end of the plastic sleeve, you will see small metal tangs sticking into the opening. (These help hold it onto the screwdriver shank, and allow the shank to move downward through the screw finder as the screw is being installed.) You then place the head of a screw into the larger opening, and the "screw finder" will keep the bit from slipping off the screw as you start to drive it in. Why on earth they are called screw finders is beyond me -- they don't "find" anything. Their only purpose is to keep the screwdriver tip in the head of the screw as it's being installed. Hope this helps
