The "extension bar" is not an extension bar... just an L-shaped wrench. As such, it doesn't fit the tool in any way, but is meant to be used separately. It has bit drivers on both ends, with a ring to hold the bits in (no magnets etc.) The corkscrew attaches to the "lanyard holes" on the side of the handles when the tool is in the closed position (the weird-shaped holes on the metal tabs that sit on the sides of the plier head when the tool is closed. The tool in the pic is an older SwissTool X (you can tell by the plier head), but that could well be a stock photo; if you're buying online, perhaps you could ask for a photo of the actual item.

I'd suggest checking with Neil or Tim first or posting a WTB thread, then resorting to other routes (e.g. there are a couple of them on ebay.com but shipping is utter overkill).
