how well will this product work for a petite elderly woman with arthritic hands who still uses the old fashioned clippers?

I love these clippers. They're very easy to use; hold a charge a long time and do a great job. I'm trying not to think of myself as elderly, but there you have it, I'm pretty close! I too have small arthritic hands but still find this tool to be excellent. Hope you like it as much as I do.

I'm a 65 year old petite woman with arthritis, and I can use this product without any problem. The wheels help to support the weight of the shears.

They would be the easiest tool you could use for trimming grass in my opinion. There is even a little set of wheels they roll on so you don't have to hold them up off the ground. You won't be disappointed.

There is a safety mechanism (the orange button on top of the handle in the image) that has to be thumbed at the same time you squeeze the trigger with your other fingers (the trigger is under the handle, and is pulled up by your fingers at the same time your thumb is holding down the safety on top). That might present a problem. Of course, you could probably find a way of taping the safety in the unlocked position so that you don't have to worry about it, but then the tool becomes, well, less safe to use.

Hi. I am a bit arthritic in my hands too. My experience is these are much easier on my hands than oldFashioned clippers.Hands do get a bit tired but I switch and it's a lot easier than manual clippers. No opening and closing so it's less stress on hands. I hope this helps.

Yes it is easy to use. You can lock the trimmer in the on position and let your thumb rest and just a gentle touch to the trigger will stop it. I found having the extension handle a back saver for long trimming jobs.

It's very light weight. I have arthritis in my left hand around the thumb. I can use this very well. I purchased the extension handle. With the extension handle I need to use my left hand to hold the button down but it doesn't cause me any pain or problems. I've run for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes with no issues to my hands.

You will wish you had bought one years ago, sure has been nice for my hands!

It should work very well, and it should make her life easier. If she also buys the long handle attachment, she won't have to crawl around on her knees to do the trimming. I am very pleased with mine, especially for that feature.

I don't think you'll have any issues. My hands aren't very small, but I do have rheumatoid arthritis and my hands arent very strong, and I love using this . Pureeing soups is very quick and mine (hands!) don't tire out. I love that you can disconnect the whisk or blade and wash them separately too!

I am an elderly woman with arthritis and I do not find it difficult to use, just don't try to do raw potatoes. I put them in the microwave to cook slightly before I slice them. Other vegetables are the size of the squares on the blades. I love my slicer.

Not an issue. I have very small hands and I can use it without a any trouble. PS. You will love it. My last one was gas and heavy, this one is lite and cuts better.

I would recommend you the ZoomGroom, which has an standard size and is a firm but gentle brush. It works great with short hair.

I don't think so... I had an older model of clippers as well and it didnt work for them!

The Andis clipper is a little heavy for me, but then I have arthritis in my hands. It weighs 1 lb. 3/4 oz. and may weigh a little more than the Wahl brand. My husbands does the clipping and thinks the unit is about the same. Because of the outstanding cutting ability and it does not heat up like others it is worth the price and the weight is of no factor.

I cannot really answer specifically to arthritis, but will definitely say they are easy to hold. Other clippers slip out of my hand and bounce away. These by Mehaz have a non-slip coating and are wider and longer. I am very pleased with them.

There are many different guides for different lengths. These are the same clippers used at most hair salons and places that offer haircuts such and Great Clips and Sports Clips. To answer your question in regards for female users I would assume these would work based on what I have experienced with my kids and what the experts use but for the price they seem really to be a great deal. I hope I answered your question. You could look up other reviews not just with Amazon but maybe Target, Walmart, Kohls, or you favorite store.

While it should work, it's a little heavy for that job. They also sell a nail clipper version which is lighter and would be easier to manipulate for cutting fingernails.

I bought this for my elderly sister. She has arthritic hands and she told me she LOVES it. I have not used it myself, but I would definitely buy myself one on the strength of her recommendation. I hope this helps you.

I got my B&D; hedge trimmer from my 90 year old grandmother, after she moved to an apartment. It is very lightweight.

I bought one for my 88 year old mother and she uses it just fine. She has some arthritis in her hands. It is relatively easy to use for a hand can opener

My experience has been that they are very smooth and easy to use for extended periods of time. My wife, an avid gardener, has arthritis in her hands and just loves these cutters.
