Is it heavy and for a really small hand, and is the lever easy to grasp ?

Heavier than some irons I have used but no problem gripping. You have room to scoot your hand up to grasp it.

Yes, I find it easy. If I recall, it's a little heavy to carry but nothing outrageous.

I bought this for my husband who has much larger hands than I do. I find I can not use the high quality knives that he uses because of my arthritis and the smaller size of my hands makes his knives off balance for me. Having said that - I do not know how heavy it is because I just tip it up and rock it. I find that the weight of this is it's asset for me because I do not have to grip it hard or push down on it. I simply rock it and before I know it the job is done. Hope this helps.

It's not heavy but it is cumbersome to try and get arms around with a good grip. Hope this helps you.

Not much force at all, let gravity and knife weight do the work for you. After several movements (right side, left side) you will discover how easy it really is.

The handle is not abnormally heavy. I really like the design and feel. If you do buy it make sure you really slam the handle into the blade. otherwise it will be wobbly.

With the front lever that you see (gray handle), it can easily be moved around by 1 person. I always have two just in case, but have handled by myself with ease.

YES, it's quite heavy. It's a plus for build quality. The weight is also nice if you just want it to sit there while you stir around. HOWEVER, even though I'm a big guy, single handed tossing is pretty much impossible. I had to grab with both hand to toss, which I find much more difficult.

it weighs about 5#, but the handle is so well placed ergonomically that you hardly feel any weight. this is the first tool of its kind that i am able to handle. i do all of the high grass around an acre pond and never feel the weight. and i weigh all of 105#! it was a great purchase. one thing they don't tell you is that you have to do some minor assembly on arrival, but it was fairly easy to accomplish.

I use it and I am a woman with small hands. It is not as heavy as my husband's regular drill but it is more sturdy than my previous B&D driver/drill. I prefer this one even though it is a bit wider in the grip and a tad heavier. It's my favorite gadget.

Very easy. I am 63 years old, male, and have no problems. I have smaller hands as well.

It is very lightweight. I'm bad at guessing weights, but 3lbs maybe? I'm a very small person and have no issues using this paddle. Durable, lightweight, and works very well. No complaints!

So Far I have had no problems with the lever. I actually really like the lever because It is perfect height for me (5' 11) and I can adjust it for my girlfriend (5' 1). So It actually seems well made to me. Seems the biggest complaint is it not being sturdy sometimes, in which case I called and they sent me a new one that was. Hope that helps.

8 lbs does seem to be extreme, holding the grip handle shut at that length and weight would be difficult. I got this for my husband for floor retrieval, so since you asked, I tried it out in the kitchen cupboards with 30 oz mayo, 15 oz fruit & soups and it worked perfectly. I used my free hand as a guide down. There was no flex in the shaft without it. I think this handle grip is very comfortable and doesn't require a large hand to work it successfully/comfortably. I think I need to remember to take it to the store with me next time. Good Luck!

I do find that the smaller size and light weight makes the tasks you mention a lot easier. Especially when you are limited to one hand to use the impact gun for hard to reach places. The led light does come in handy. I also feel like the balance on this impact is great. I too have the big brother so having both fit the bill for a wide range of tasks. I would recommend this tool.

I've only done it once so far, so we fumbled a little. But yes it was easy. I don't remember about the weight. Parts of if aren't to bad, The heaviest section is the part where the steering tiller is located. I haven't actually used it much since I mainly bough it for when I go off somewhere (zoo, etc.). So far I'm very happy with it and would buy one again if I needed another and could afford to. And Amazon has given GREAT customer service regarding it and everything else I bought from them. Let me know if I can tell your anything else. Kimetha Bryan

Extremely easy to turn handle. Even with some reduced strength it should be easy to use.
