For my birthday, my wife has bought me a huge set of drill accessories... bits, drivers, hole saws, etc. However, I am puzzled as to what the set of four 'screw finders' are. Each seems to be the same size... a hollow cone-shaped plastic tube about an inch and a half long. What are they for??
Screw finders?

are they spring loaded with a screw bit inside? If so you press them onto the screw head and the cone guides the bit into the slot

They're for sticking in a box somewhere and not bothering with for years, and then trying to get them to do something then never touching them again.
Google is your friend....

Perhaps your good lady wife has the answer
Just done that John. Hmm.. I have a tiny bit more of an idea now... they seem to be for use with slotted screws, which I never use if I can help it. I'll take Lurch's advice I think ;) Thanks all.
Heh ;)
formatting link
is your even better friend.
Contrary to the name, the full-page form is much easier to use than the single-line entry, because you can see exactly what you're doing.
(or so I find; ymmv)
