The only tool you'll need in this case is a toothpick, or something similar. In the video, the user pierces the bottom of the lemon, creating an invisible hole. Then he rolls the lemon a little in his hands and presses down on it, holding the fruit with the hole facing down.

Instantly, juice begins to flow out of the lemon under great pressure. This flow is easily stopped as soon as the author of the video stops pressing the lemon. Thus, you can get exactly as much juice from the fruit as you need to prepare a particular dish. Put the leftover fruit in the refrigerator and keep it there until you need it again.
Press and extract the juice.
