I've seen restaurant takeout counters with these things before, but I
don't know what they are or where to find them. They're little
handheld devices that you can put over the lip of a aluminum takout
container, and make one quick circular pass around the outside, and it
will close the aluminum lip over the plastic cover.

I've seen big machines that do this, but they were like $200. What I'm
looking for is just a little handheld device that I can use to do it
manually (but quicker than doing it with my thumbs alone)

You can make your own. Take a small block of wood and cut a groove in
it slightly wider than the thickness of the cover and aluminum
combined. To use it, just shove the device against the lip so that lip
is forced into the groove. A few quick turns will have the whole thing
sealed.
