ABSTRACT:
A portable tool for effectively reducing medicine solids during compound leveraged actuation. The portable tool may include a first handle adapted to receive a downward force during actuation, a second handle adapted to receive an upward force during actuation, a first reducing jaw pivotally connected to the first handle and a second reducing jaw, and a second reducing jaw pivotally connected to the second handle and the first reducing jaw. The first reducing jaw and the second reducing jaw may be adapted to receive a medicine solid therebetween in an open-jaw position. Then, in response to applying a force to one or both of the first and second handle(s), a leveraged actuation simultaneously causes the first reducing jaw to pivot with the first handle and the second reducing jaw to pivot with the second handle, such that the received medicine solid is reduced between the first and second reducing jaws as the portable tool achieves a closed-jaw position.
