Place the ‘worm’ part of the corkscrew into the top of the bottle – through the wax. Twist in a clockwise motion until the corkscrew is fully inserted in the cork.

 

Rest the shorter notch on the lever (that's the metal arm!) on the lip of the wine bottle, then pull up the handle to bring the cork out of the bottle.

If needed, switch to the longer notch on the lever and continue to pull up until the cork is completely removed. Success!
