1. A device for reversed operation of a first handle, the first handle being of a circuit breaker, the device comprising:
a housing that is attachable to the circuit breaker; and
a lever that is rotatably attached to the housing, the lever comprising:
a body; and
an arm and a second handle each extending away from the body,
wherein the lever is movable in a first direction relative to the housing in response to a force at the second handle, such that when the housing is attached to the circuit breaker and the lever moves in the first direction relative to the housing, the first arm is configured to press against and move the first handle of the circuit breaker in a second direction relative to the housing, the second direction being away from the first direction.
