Need guidance!

Please include instructions! I broke three of these (the plastic is very flimsy so it doesn't get in the way) before getting one to work. The problem for me was interpreting how twisted plastic works (it's not a feather type). After the entire plastic/metal piece is in place, the jig must be retracted to allow the curl to catch on the drywall and push the metal away from the plastic rod, forming a T with the rod. Then the shaft is pulled back until the T snaps into place on the other side of the wall. Make yourself comfortable. The slide bolt guide is inserted into the 1/2" hole on the shaft, the excess plastic shaft broken off and smoothed out. The bolt goes through the guide and threads into the metal T. I also rotated the metal 90 degrees before starting several times to loosen the plastic wand's grip on the metal so that the twisted plastic is strong enough to release the metal when the wand is pulled back to form a T.
