Can this be operated by someone with only one hand?

I think a man could but small woman maybe. The size of the jar would make a difference. Margaret

Yes, if you can hold the jar tightly with one hand and give it a little twist.

It would depend on the size of the item to be opened I would think. If you can hold the item in one hand you probably could.
1698021
Yes. I've opened smaller and "normal" sized jars single handedly. Large jars would likely be difficult with one hand.

Yes, I bought the EZ off Jar opener because I had shoulder surgery and could only use my left hand and it worked fine for all sizes of lids including bottles. Beverly

I think it is intended for 2 hands. I suppose if you had very large hands you could reach over and move the lever while still holding it (I can't with my small hands), but it would not be easy. Or like the other person said, tuck it under your arm. The lever is not hard to move (I actually like the control it gives) but it is not placed well for one-handed use.

Yes, It can be used with one hand. If you don't have any hand strength you might need two. I have had no problems using it at all.

I don't think so. It is too big to hold with one hand. Also the air came out of it after only a couple of uses.

No. You can do it yourself. Although a little hand pump would make the job easier and faster, but over all it wasn't too difficult.

It can definitely be lifted with one hand. but not easily carried any distance. can be folded with one hand.

I believe you could use this with just one arm/hand. You can slide with your fingers or thumb and close with the desk top or your leg. Hope this helps

Not really. One hand is holding the wand, the other turns it on/off. The mechanism very easily/smoothly moves fwd (on) and back (off).

Yes you only need one hand. All you do is place it on top of the can and push the button. The opener will do the rest.

yes, you can use one-handed, as long as you wear ear plugs and pick up with the other hand what you attempted to vacuum up.

No, but it's not a quick switch. You'll have to pull over and use both hands.

It does not appear that this unit could be used by a left handed person. So sorry lefties!

You can do it with one hand but it is a very cheaply made product that likely won't hold up long. We are very disappointed with the cheapness of the materials as they are a very lightweight plastic.

As sold the winder needs two hands. By adding a tension spring this item could be a one handed device.

Yes you can. It is a plastic attachment that easily comes on and off and can be switched from one hand to the other.

Yes, It can be held with one hand. However the speed is controlled by a "wheel" which is hard not to accidentally change while using it. I would not purchase this again.
