In the realm of spring engineering, a Corkscrew Spiral—technically identified as a centerless helix, open-core worm, or Archimedean screw—is a specialized rigid component. While it shares a visual resemblance to elongated extension springs, its mechanical purpose is fundamentally different. Unlike springs that rely on elasticity for deflection, the corkscrew worm is a high-stiffness, non-deforming tool. It is engineered to pierce and anchor into porous materials with maximum axial holding force while preserving the structural integrity of the cork.
Our corkscrew spirals are more than just coils—they are precision-machined Centerless Helices designed for the perfect extraction experience. Engineered for extreme rigidity, our “worms” ensure a secure grip and smooth glide, protecting even the most delicate vintage corks.
