A corkscrew is handheld item that consists of a pointed metal helix attached to a handle. Some corkscrews may also have clasps on the side. They are designed for pulling corks out of wine bottles and are utilized by inserting the point into the cork, then twisting the handle, allowing the corkscrew to burrow into the cork until it can firmly grasp itself to the inside of it. The user then tugs upon the corkscrew until the cork pops out.
