I like to twirl my body but keep my head up high. After I go in, everything becomes tight. What am I?

Screw

Why this works

This riddle plays on the dual meanings of the words "twirl" and "tight." A screw is twisted or "twirled" into place, and it has a distinct head that remains above the surface when it's driven into material. The phrase "after I go in, everything becomes tight" refers to how screws secure objects together, making them tight and stable once inserted. Thus, the clever wordplay on the screw's action and its purpose leads us to the answer!

A whisk does twirl and has a head, but it is not typically associated with making things tight after use.

“Drill Bit”

A drill bit does twirl and can create tightness, but it doesn't have a distinct 'head' that remains visible above the material being drilled.
