squeezers

Tools that compress

Squeezers is the plural of squeezer—a person or device that squeezes.

A citrus squeezer extracts juice from fruit.

In poker slang, squeezers are cards with small index markings in the corners, allowing players to identify their hand by squeezing the cards together and peeking at just the edges: I prefer squeezers so I don't have to lift my cards off the table.
