easy for arthritic hands

The lock feature keep the opener closed with little hand pressure once the can is pierced..... So, that removes the necessity of maintaining a strong grip on the 2 handles when opening a can. Yes, much easier on arthritic hands.

Having read in multiple places that many found relief for arthritic hand pain by using paraffin wax, I bought this for my mother who has very painful hands despite a surgery which should have brought improvement. The spa is large enough to put not only hands in, but also size 9 feet. I had read many found relief by using this each morning. While soothing when she actually has the wax on her hands, my mother has not found the relief lasts into the day. She leaves it set up, but not turned on, and does not mind waiting while the cooled hardened wax melts. It does make her hands wonderfully soft and is certainly the equivalent of a similar treatment at a good spa. It seems sturdy, professional quality, and like it will last. It gets hot enough to thoroughly melt the wax.

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.

Absolutely! You might also want to consider exercise too to help get your hands in better shape - the book "Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis" is one good place to start.

I have some arthritis. I think this can opener is about as easy as you can find in a manual opener. I was very pleased at how it zipped around the can without struggling.

Well, I'm 80 years old but I don't have any Arthiritis in my hands but the unit takes quite a bit of hand work to program initially. Once it's programmed, it's easy to use but of course it has to be refilled daily.

Very easy to do, tedious, so I had my grandson do it for me. Saves wear on your fingers too.

You can use these on a faucet, sprinkler, watering wand or to couple two hoses. Anywhere you want to disconnect with out screwing the fittings off. Great for arthritic hands. Just pull the collar up and your done.

I bought this for my mother-in-law who lives far from us and has arthritis and can't open jars on her own. I showed her how to use this a couple times three months ago so I am trying to remember exactly how it functioned. The top part slides and lifts easily. There is no locking mechanism to hold the top up so something would have to be done to hold the top up while you put the jar in and take it out. I was surprised how easily it opens jars with just the push of a button. I think you will find it easy to use if you come up with a way to hold the top up.

Dorothy, I don't have arthritis, but the speed control is on the top of the unit, and is only about 3/8" thick and rounded at the top edge - leaving nothing much to grip. I guess you could use one of those flat rubber jar openers to grip it or maybe a rubber glove like you use to wash dishes. I have finally learned to press on it with the palm of my hand and turn it or press and turn with the other hand - you can feel the speed changes as it will click into place a little - it's not hard to turn, takes very little pressure, just no place to grip it. I just leave it on 5. Also hard to see the markings even with my reading glasses and they are indentations in shiny chrome. And the directions do not say where the speed control is or how to change it. I severely injured my wrist some time ago and I can turn it with that wrist. I wish I could let you borrow mine to try. I do love mine and use it daily for frozen fruit smoothies, soups, mashed potatoes, canning tomatoes for sauce and stewed tomatoes, fruits for jams, applesauce, even pudding! Hope this helps. Diana

My experience has been that they are very smooth and easy to use for extended periods of time. My wife, an avid gardener, has arthritis in her hands and just loves these cutters.

Quite easy - when wrapping a wrist I just use my teeth to cleanly tear it or when wrapping an ankle I can easily tear it using my pointer fingers and thumbs.

I also have Rheumatoid arthritis and this pot is very lightweight and the handle does not get too hot.

We've used it for all our knives, including pairing knives. This is the best we've found for my wife who has arthritis in both her hands, she can easily use it. Would buy this again.

I have arthritis, but not in my fingers. It takes a bit of strength to open the compartments.
