"You must buy yourself a hand-held enameled cast aluminum citrus squeezer, say hounds. These things are quick, efficient, handy, inexpensive…everything you'd want from a kitchen gadget.
Here's how they work: there's a cup into which you fit a half lemon or lime, and two long handles which push together with a lever action, pressing a reamer down on the fruit and literally turning it inside out, extracting every bit of juice, while leaving seeds and pulp behind.
These gizmos are sold in color-coded sizes (i.e., a small green ones for limes, larger yellow for lemons), but chowhounds overwhelmingly agree that the yellow version is all that's needed for both fruits (indeed, some limes are too big to fit the lime-sized squeezer)." - C. Thi Nguyen,

"We go through a lot of lemon and lime juice in the test kitchen, and because we want to test our recipes with the freshest ingredients, we squeeze the juice in small batches as we need it. We used to use hand-held reamers, but once we tried these citrus presses, there was no going back. With one simple squeeze of the hand, the citrus press turns a lemon or lime half inside out, forcing nearly every drop of juice through the holes in the bottom of the press, and straining it in the process. The presses, which are colored to match their corresponding fruits, are available for lemons, limes, and oranges." -
