Your post is the first time I've seen any reference to the corkscrew.
I was intrigued by it in the store but somewhat skeptical about

I think the difference is the corkscrew will take out the taproot, but
the "dandelion spade" (which is a common garden tool) will not unless
you really dig. Did you notice that all three tools had long handles,
so you don't have to stoop or bend to do your weeding?
