Hi Bob... you might already have the answer/details by now, but I'll share this anyway for the greater good. The metal tool has a slot at each tip that allows you to slide the tool over the switch metal blade (think of a really skinny set of fixed width needle nose pliers). The two 90 degree bend at the one end of the tool help you reach different areas. Hopefully the photos upload ok so you can see it in action and get a better idea visually.2014-03-14_23-36-33_697.jpg2014-03-14_23-37-10_887.jpg2014-03-14_23-37-26_794.jpg
