1/4" connector question

I recently acquired a quantity of 1/4" plugs.  They are all metal, and
impossible to open nondestructively.  Close inspection reveals a tiny
pin inside (where the signal would be) and a strange cutting screw
(which would cut through the insulation and contact the shield).
I have had little luck getting these to work.  They seem to be solderless
connectors designed to be quick and easy (and unreliable)  I would like
any suggestions on how these were designed to work.
Thank you in advance.
