can you use just one hand to open a can. I have asked a question. Please answer

Yes, you just set it on the can and press the button. However, this particular one from this company does not work properly. I would opt for one of the more expensive ones that don't come from China.
881082
yes it if works....the one we bought didn't work and we are trying to return it.
881083
yes you can,you just touch the button on top of the opener and hold it down until it locks into place. The opener will then go counterclock wise around the can and turn itself off when the can is opened.

Yes, with the One Touch Can Opener. My left hand is paralyzed so I only have my right hand to use. Olace the opener on top of the can, press the button, and the opener does the rest. It works great!
881085
Yes you can; however you have to push the start button several times to get it to start and it sometime s stops halfway around the can. I recommend you look for a different one.

Yes , while others have had problems mine has been working fine , actually I have one at home and one at cottage , both have worked great . Install a good battery , place on can and press button ...

I'm right handed but my husband is left handed so I asked him to use the can opener & let me know how he liked it. He could do it with both hands & didn't seem to have a problem either way.

I think it would be difficult for a left-handed person to use this. You will have to use it with the handle away from you (hope the description makes sense)---it might work but it definitely won't be a comfortable way to open cans.

You can effectively use one or two hands, it's up to you. Also, It's not hard to handle at all. (Not slippery)

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

Well - the bottle tends to spin with the motion of the opener. You would need some way to secure the bottle so it wouldn't spin. If you did that, it could be done with one hand.

No, you need two hands. I am a "righty": so I hold the jar with my left hand, and put the easitwist around the cover, and turn with my right hand. It is a nice jar opener.

Yes he can--this open works by sqeezing the handles as it cuts through the lid! Actually--I have no use of my left hand since having had a stroke and it works great using my right hand! Sometimes I have to hold the can between my knees to anchor it--Where there's a will there's a way!!

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 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.

Yes to open the can. You will have to be creative removing the lid from the can opener magnet, but can probably shake it off with one hand.

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.

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's pretty easy for me to open it with one hand, although it took a little getting used to. With minimal practice, I can deploy it very quickly with one hand.
