I think they are handles to make it easier to get the lead off.

As I recall it unclips and then reattaches at 90 degrees to safely pull the lead off the plug.

I threw mine away thinking it was useless...until i needed it!  Better than a pair of pliers.  Luckily got another on the replacement engine....

Perfect it isn't, but better than nothing..

They work very well if you still have the original Beru plug leads!
