Default Using hammer wedges

Im fitting a new handle to a sledge hammer and when I asked for some
wedges in the hardware store they gave me these.

Pack contains one hardwood wedge and two ridged metal tubes. Whats the
right way of using these? Are the tubes an alternative to the wedge or do I
use both?

If the latter, presumably I have to saw a slot for the wedge across the
middle of the shaft end? Where do I hammer in the tubes? Any gotchas?

Tim
