can this work using only one hand?

Well - the bottle tends to spin with the motion of the opener. You would need some way to secure the bottle so it wouldn't spin. If you did that, it could be done with one hand.

Someone would need to hold the bottle, but the wine opener can be used with one hand. Hope this helps.

You can take the cork out with this device with only one hand. However to cut the foil off the top of the bottle you will need someone to hold the bottle and another hand to twist the cutter back-and-forth to cut the foil.

I think it would be difficult to use with one hand. This model is discontinued and the one I ordered didn't work at all. The model that replaces it cannot be used with one hand.

Yes, I believe you'll be OK because you actually need both hands to operate-1 switch with your right hand and the other with your left hand.

Per your question, I tried to operate this using only one hand and found it very difficult . I also have one made by Simmons (prosport ) that I can use with only one hand. Hope this is helpful.

You can do it with one hand but it is a very cheaply made product that likely won't hold up long. We are very disappointed with the cheapness of the materials as they are a very lightweight plastic.

You probably can not use only one hand because its weight is too light for most things you would cut. It would probably move around too much causing a little frustration. With that being said, it is durable and easy to use with two hands because it is solidly built. The blades are very sharp and durable and it is pretty easy to control. I hope this answered your question. :)

No more so than a right hander. This thing is not all it's cracked up to be. I've used mine twice. I wish I had not bought it.

I can use it with either hand and it works so well, I have begun to use it all the time. Good luck!

I doubt it would work well with one hand. I bought it to drain large pots and it is excellent for that (as shown in pic).

That's a good question. Yes, it has a lock so you don't need two hands. It will work with one hand, good for stretching for a far branch. The new trimmer I bought unfortunately requires two hands.

It's designed for use with both hands however if I press the lever on one side and pull it down a little, I can then let that side go and press the other lever and using one hand wiggle the tray off. I'm sure this is not recommended, but it works.

I hold the wand with one hand and use the other to operate the lever, but it could be possible to do it all with one hand. You'd have to tuck the wand under your arm somehow.

No you need both hands. There are two rings on either side and a button that has to be pushed.

Hello, Thanks for your question! This product can be used by either hand. Hope that helps.

I too cannot use my right hand and wondered if this opener is a good choice for single handed users.

I believe so. It broke after only a few months but I think it just requires the one hand.

I have used this opener with both my left and right hand. It works equally well not matter which hand I am using.
