I recently bought a Hawke SW 30 SF scope and these pieces were in the box however I do not know their function. Sorry if this has already been covered or that I may be a complete bonehead! Thanks.

No picture, but I think you're referring to the wrenches for removing the retaining rings / lens covers.

Hmm, I wonder why the pictures did not post. I will try again. The pieces are half moon shaped-one being larger than the other.

I tried the picture again after clicking "fast upload an image" and the preview looks good but then does not appear in the post. One more try...

Hey, hawkeye69, your pic looks kinda like "Hawkeye" from M.A.S.H. Cool stuff!! Looks like the picture came through this time. Instead of previewing my post, I just submitted. Seems like I have always previewed before posting without issue.

Are they for tightening the lens covers on? So you can position the lens cover how you want it and tighten with them.

Hi Tweeter, I think that may be what hawkeye69 was saying. If they are for the lens cover, I am unsure how to use! I will try to post another pic with a size reference.

There are small notches that the wrenches fit into on the lens covers. Different sizes for the front and back.

Here check out Joe's video on the sidewinder and he shows how to remove them with the tools. Just reverse the process to install the lens covers. They are like this so you can position the cover to open in any direction you wish and then tighten the inside retaining ring with the provided tools.

I forgot to mention that Joe's videos are the best! Somebody already said it-SNL material all the way for the comedic vids. Keep 'em coming Joe!
