good for arthritic hands?

I would say yes, it is. It is not too heavy and takes little pressure to open the can.

It is Very Easy to use. I Think if you go slow you would not have any problem using it.

You may have trouble getting it to close onto the can. Sometimes, it takes a little force to break the seal of the can. The smooth operation of the crank arm allows you to turn the handle without moving your hand or wrist. I did a practice can by forming my right hand in a "C" shape while opening the can with a straight wrist. It was harder to open than usual but I could open a can with a minimal amount of strength. It is a lot easier to use than the old can openers from the 70's.

Not having arthritis, this may not be helpful. The can opener is very easy to use. Fastens on cans easily and handle turns easily. I have found this to be the best hand held can opener we have ever purchased.

I can't honestly say if this opener would be what you need for painful joints. However, it works exactly like the typical opener except it is far easier to insert and turn than almost all that's out there. I am happy with it currently and the proof will be (following all cleansing instructions) that it maintains quality.

I find it easy to turn and open cans unlike other similar openers I've tried.

Hi. It works easily, but rusts fast. If u buy it, make sure u dry it off every time you use it. It does cut nicely, and I would assume it would be great for arthritic hands.

I m not too sure yet it very easy for me and my elderly father to use no hassle and cuts smoothly. No complaints

I received mine a a gift from the maker of my arthritis Rx - the handle is easy to grip. You don't need to hold on tightly to maintain control.

i have arthritis in both hands, yet i have no problem using the nabber. all you need is to grab it with twp fongers and cradle it in the arch between your thumb and forefinger and it will work fine.

I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and I don't have a problem. It's not that big of a deal as far as I'm concerned. If she has a really hard time squeezing,I would suggest you look for something else, but again, I don't have a problem at all with mine. *Remember, you can always return it to Amazon and get a refund and try something else if you'd like.

Try it, it will work some of those muscles, and there's also some other good exercises in Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis that should help.

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 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.

Yes--I have found using them has strengthened my hands tremendously. It has also releaved some of the pain associated with my arthritis.

No they are not hard to turn. It would be good therapy for arthritic hands.

No. They're also good for folks who have arthritis. Flipping the switch is easier than gripping and pulling the plug, particularly with tight outlets.

It should be helpful for weak hands. Sounds like you could have carpal tunnel.

Yes, I use it everyday on my hands for arthritis. Sometimes it stings, just put lotion over it. You can dilute it down with sterile water, also. You can buy it in ceam form with aloe added.

Yes I think they would. I have sevier osteo-arthritis in my left thumb and it seems to relieve the pain there. Also have rheumatoid arthritis which the fingers feel better while wearing the gloves. Best part you can still knit while wearing these gloves. They don't hinder movement. Hope this helps.

Its not so good. I bought it for the same purpose but didnt like it. It is as good as your fingers as they say; though i think the fingers are better in terms of responsivenesss. Not recommended.

It doesn't require a lot of pressure, but I probably wouldn't recommend it for anyone with arthritis...even my hand will get sore/tired after awhile. I also agree with Chris's analysis, but I do like it for quick jobs i.e. cat litter, but I have to use a regular vacuum for the whole house. And the mopping feature sucks.
