I have a stroke, meaning Ihave one usable hand. Will this bread slicing guide help me or not?

I do tend to use a second hand to keep the loaf pushed against the divider, to get perfectly sized slices, but it's not absolutely necessary.

If you place the bread slicer on top of a damp towel it will stay put on the counter. I find that this works well for cutting boards, as well. I am short in stature. I place the bread slicing guide on a table that is considerably lower height than my counters. Makes it much easier to slice loaves that are taller than the slots. To keep the loaf in place within the slicer, you might put a piece of cardboard in the slot behind the heel of the loaf.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. The best advice I can give to you is that if you can find a way to help keep the slicer from sliding around on your counter top/table you shouldn't have that much difficulty slicing the bread.. You definitely need something to help hold the base in place as you slice.

Probably not. It is a well made product, but we found it impractical for slicing anything but the smallest loaves.

I have mild carpel tunnel syndrome. As long as you allow for natural rotation and keep a firm grip you should have no problems. Highly recommended for hose with vulnerable wrist issues unless you have injured them before.

The easiest and fastest thing to do on this slicer is bread. It works great!

I believe it might since once you cut the item, such as a lemon, you put it on the machine and can simply press down with the palms of both hands if necessary, without having to grip item too tightly. There might be a bit of movement, but it will depend a bit on how you can work with it.

No. If you are nervous, you are more likely to cut yourself. Remember that the tool IS NOT out to get you. You might want to try holding what you are grating with a clean dishcloth. This will give your fingers protection- but you will end up with a stump of whatever you are grating. (If it is cheese, this can be a good thing.)

I bought the opener for my mom. She suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome. It will open everything from water bottles to pickle jars. She loves it and finds it very helpful.

I haven't used it since I sliced my finger. I was slicing tomatoes when it happened.

You don't need instructions. Look at the picture, you set the bread on the horizontal piece of plastic, put it through the archway until it hits the barrier(adjustable for thickness of slice.The archway has a slit that the knife uses as a guide and that's it.My problem with the product is that it is too small for the bread that comes out of my bread maker. It is designed for a loaf about the size of a store bought loaf.

It helps tremendously if you are right handed. Both other responses are correct.

Yes you can. As a matter of fact my left hand works it much better than my right. Whic ever hand works better for you.

I didn't get instructions either. Maybe this will help: To protect your bread: Lift handle to open door, insert bread, close door. To enjoy bread: Open handle, remove bread, prepare to your liking, replace any unused bread, close door.

Yes he can--this open works by sqeezing the handles as it cuts through the lid! Actually--I have no use of my left hand since having had a stroke and it works great using my right hand! Sometimes I have to hold the can between my knees to anchor it--Where there's a will there's a way!!

yes i am using this specifically for stroke recovery see my review on this product for the results i have achieved. i have experienced increased gripping power, faster opening of my hand , and the ability to carry things with out dropping them. I am using this product in conjunction with 3 other products to recover my left hand from a stroke i suffered in aug 2013

In my experience, yes. I have trouble with manuel dexterity & I find this stylus very helpful. I imagine it would be even better for those without problems.

Be careful not to break a bone in the main part of your hand. Handwraps are a better choice if you hit hard.

I can use one finger with carpel tunnel sometimes I use two hope this helps

I'm not certain. However, I checked the QuickStart guide and saw no reference to "left hand."From my view, I can think of no reason why it would not work for a left handed person.
