How much pressure needed from the thumb to crank?

I am not handicapped in anyway but I find can openers very hard to use. I love this can opener. Very easy to use. The large black knob is easy to turn and the hand grips are just right. Hope this helped.

fI do not use my thumb to crank it, I use my wrist/arm to twist. It doesn't take very much pressure to turn it. I put my thumb and fingers around the handle and then use my wrist to turn the handle. I hope this helps

Not a lot of thumb pressure and that is good as most have lots and my thumb won't take it. Good can opener, I love it.

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 did mine in 6 hours start to finish. The biggest issue is getting the crank bolt out to remove the pulley. If you have air and a big impact wrench its no problem. I used air tools and have a good impct wrench so all went smooth. Goodluck

I don't use a cranking device I use the cocking harness. The short rope with rubber hooks. I am 65 and I have no problem cocking it.

I am 66 years young and not overly strong and have no issues with using the hand crank. Can crank to the top of the lift in less than a minute.

I have seen as much as 50 psi give or take how quick you are removing it. I'm a heavier rider so I have to wrestle with it a bit but it doesn't usually take too much longer to get correct. I'd suggest a decent pressure gauge to ease the issues. Good idea to have one of those anyway.

You can use the crank handle that comes with the unit. This unit has been one of the best things I have gotten in years.

I''m not sure what "not too strong arms" equates to, but psi's up to about 40 are achievable without too much effort. Also, wider tires (i.e. mtn bike, cruiser) are much easier to inflate than narrower (i.e., roadbike) ones. Level of difficulty in putting on the tire seems to weigh heavily also -- if the tire is a bugger to put on, airing it up will probably also present difficulties (firm vs. gummy sidewall, for example). Hope this helps.

I'm not sure of the exact pressure, however I do have road bike tires and I was able to fill my tire (from flat) to be able to finish my ride without noticing any change in pressure. The tire was hard and I did have CO2 left over, although I don't know how much. After every emergency use I re-pack a new cartridge. I always keep two in my saddle bag.

I don't know how many pounds of pressure but I can tell you that I've cranked with both hands on some oranges. The press has cast iron weight to it that makes it solid on the countertop. The only problem with this item is that you have to tighten the Allen head bolts, socket head cap screws, with the supplied Allen wrenches. I used liquid wrench and it seems to help. The machine itself is a strong one and solid. I've had mine over a year and have squeezed gallons of juice and have put a lot of pressure on the press.

Its fairly simple the angles are changed with a button the size of your thumb not too much pressure is needed to press it down. I think maybe 2-3 buttons were a little hard, as long as you make sure your angles fall on the line (they are measure like a compass) than you wont have to much trouble. :)

The maximum recommended PSI for use with this wrench is 90 psi. I've sometimes cranked the pressure up to 100 psi to loosen particularly stubborn fasteners with no harm to the wrench!

Depends on your strength but the taller the better. If you are too short or not strong enough a crank is $149.95

Put one hand on the top, & one hand on the bottom & apply firm pressure until it moves. It starts out very stiff, but eventually loosens up somewhat.

Actually, you put your thumb on front of the bottle (bottle`s cap/lid) and push the button with your index finger or middle finger or both. I don`t know how severe your arthritis is, but I`d say on the scale from 0 to 10, where 0 would be "no effort at all" and 10 - "unable to push whatsoever...", I would give it 3.

I hope to be clear: If I take on my hand is about 10 cms. if is on it`s base 5 cms.have a nice day

there are two speeds for the crank speed, so that alone should not be a problem; I would think as in any crank is the ability to control the casing flow without air pockets, hope this helps (for the money this is a good machine for small time use)

It's got a manual crank, but honestly you won't be able to crank it enough by hand to do much. It's just has too much diameter and length for hand-cranking. I think if you need a 1/2 by 50-footer you also need a machine to feed and rotate; wish I'd had a better idea about that before I bought mine.
