can I open wine with one hand?

No. You need to hold the opener at the neck of the bottle and use your other hand to push the lever down. It's very easy and doesn't take a lot of hand strength.

Yes, this is by far the best wine opener on the market. Have given it many times as a gift and it is loved by everyone.

No, it still takes both hands, one to clamp the opener to the bottle, and the other to move the lever up and down. So it is manual, but I found it easier to use than an electric one.

I have used it with only one hand but if the jar lid is on very tight or if the lid is large, it sometimes requires that I hold the opener against the lid with one hand while twisting the opener with the other hand. Lids that are in the middle range of the opener work better with one-hand operation because you can apply more leverage.

I am able to. It may take a little practice but it is meant to be operated with one hand.

They can be opened with only one hand. If you remembered to turn them so the button was on the bottom, this may confuse him. We used them to keep our toddler grandson from turning on our gas burners. Works great. They may take more problem solving skills for a stroke victim, so may be a deterrent.

Yes, It can be held with one hand. However the speed is controlled by a "wheel" which is hard not to accidentally change while using it. I would not purchase this again.

The second hinge helps open the wine bottle easier. It moves in and out slowly. You've got to apply a little bit of force to move it but I think that makes the wine key itself more sturdy. Screw in the cork screw, use the first hinge by passing it over top of the cork, then use the bottom part of the hinge to pull out the cork completely.

You will need two hands more than likely to open this. It has some resistance. Its not really hard to open though.

Yes you only need one hand. All you do is place it on top of the can and push the button. The opener will do the rest.

It is possible, although a little difficult. You need to use your index finger to push the lock bar back, and then push the knife closed with your thumb. Opening is no problem for lefties or righties. The thumbstuds are ambidextrous. Give them a little push and the internal spring does the rest for you.

No, but it has a flipper (tab sticking off the blade that, when closed, sticks out the back at 90 degrees) that allows one handed opening.

you can definitely open it using just one hand, however it's not as simple as lifting a lever or pulling on a latch it's a two step process, you must to press the button with your thumb and then pull.

Yes. I've opened smaller and "normal" sized jars single handedly. Large jars would likely be difficult with one hand.

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 can open it easily with my fingernail. You may need to push the right point to open it.

It is certainly easy for a right-handed person. I can easily open it with my left hand, though that's not my dominant hand, so I am very confident that the answer is yes.

the first time you use it, you need both hands.. :)but after a couple of uses... it is too easy with one hand...

Absolutely. The metal cutter has to be squeezed and may be a little tough if you have arthritis in fingers on both hands but the corkscrew just involves pressing a button and holding the wine bottle.
