Is this easy to use (or do you think it would be) if you only have one hand?

It could be, if the jar fits. It needs to open wider to fit more modern jars.

It is very easy to use---I love it --it is the beat thing I ever bought.I had broken my wrist ( right one) when someone told me about this,,believe me it was a gift from heaven. I will never do without one again!!

I bought this for my mother-in-law who lives far from us and has arthritis and can't open jars on her own. I showed her how to use this a couple times three months ago so I am trying to remember exactly how it functioned. The top part slides and lifts easily. There is no locking mechanism to hold the top up so something would have to be done to hold the top up while you put the jar in and take it out. I was surprised how easily it opens jars with just the push of a button. I think you will find it easy to use if you come up with a way to hold the top up.

Since I've had mine for several years & others are saying there is a new model, I guess I'd have to say I don't know.

I think it would be difficult to use with one hand. This model is discontinued and the one I ordered didn't work at all. The model that replaces it cannot be used with one hand.

It is very easy to operate with one finger but you could use two fingers if necessary. Spray where you need it and then rub in as necessary so that your hands are clean when applying the Spray and Go. it is a great product.

The directions say to use both hands, one with your thumb on the switch and the other on the other side if the handle to kept it steady. That's how I did it since I'm not strong. I think you might be able to hold it with one hand - it's lightweight - but you'd have to have one strong hand and arm and be careful.

As long as you don't have a heavy finger, you can control it pretty well. Just like any other one though, you push too hard it'll show it's worth lol bought one or work, use it frequently.

I actually went to the kitchen and checked whether you could twist the handle with your left hand. You cannot. But the handle twists VERY easily so if you have even just a little bit of strength in your right hand, I believe it would be easy to use. I just love mind and it has lasted for many many years and still opens cans easily - but I am right handed.

It is very easy. Once you know the direction to almost twist it on itself you're good. It can be done by one persone.

Yes, it can be used with one hand. I think if someone had extremely small hands it could be a bit difficult, but the average adult should be able to manage it.

It's very easy. If the sparkling side is facing you, pull the right side of handle. :)

I believe so. It broke after only a few months but I think it just requires the one hand.

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.

Yes, its very easy to open one handed. You shouldn't have any problem doing so.

you can definitely open it using just one hand, however it's not as simple as lifting a lever or pulling on a latch it's a two step process, you must to press the button with your thumb and then pull.

No. I have to position the can with one hand and then apply the lever. Once it starts, then it runs easily, but I can't get it started one-handed. Maybe someone more coordinated than I can do it, but not me.

Yes, I can fold mine back easily to hold in one hand. Folded back is how I use it 95% of the time. It's pretty comfortable texture for your hand too, not slippery, or hot, or weird.

It can be done easily one handed, with practice. It can be difficult when you first figure it out.

You can pull it up all the way with just one hand but I don't - I go little gentle and use both hands.

It is very easy to switch on and off with one hand. I use this when hunting and I usually only have one free hand to use.
