Why is the garlic press a double class 2 lever?

A garlic press is considered a double class 2 lever because it has two distinct lever arms that work together to amplify force. The handles serve as the first lever arm, where the user applies force, while the garlic clove and the pressing mechanism act as the second lever arm, which translates that force to crush the garlic. This design allows for efficient use of leverage, making it easier to apply enough pressure to crush the garlic with minimal effort.
