a blender

 

Edit:

To add to this, there are a variety of tools that all use mechanical shearing forces.

 

homogenizer - literally a blender. Used in bursts and in a ice-cold container to prevent cooking.

 

sonicator - uses sound, actually high frequency vibrations, to shake apart cells

 

microfluidizer - pushes an already homogenized sample down a narrow tube, then quickly expands the other end in a vacuum, ripping apart even sub-cellular structures.
