Why does my wine opener have a spare corkscrew?

[Jota21]

I have a Rabbit wine opener and it came with the drip-stop ring, wax remover, foil cutter, and a spare auger/worm/corkscrew. I can not find anything online as to why this would ever need to be replaced?

I have opened probably 200 bottles of wine with this opener and have never bent or broken this piece so i figure out why this is considered such a 'wear item' that they provide a back up.

Any thoughts?

Apparently they wear out.

well I'll be damned.... Mystery solved.

It's a little odd that they give you two 'worms' which will last 2,000 pulls, but only 1 foil cutter which stays sharp for about 2.

I had one bend while opening a bottle. It got so mangled above the guide I had to cut it out with a hacksaw. I was glad to have the extra.

They can break or bend, like anything else.
