Hi, please can anyone recommend a good can opener for dodgy RA fingers and knuckles?!!! Doesn't have to be battery operated or anything just very easy to use and no strain on fingers or knuckles! Thank you all!

    Hi, I would think anything that takes the strain of opening cans, electric or battery would be good. My personal hate are ring pull cans, they seem to be everywhere tins of beans, fruit you name it and when I manage to get something and lever the pull thing up, it breaks off and the can opener won't work.... cut fingers, blood everywhere, husband saying 'you should have asked me....!
    whoops, sorry I'm going on again, ranting. :oops: Love Sue :oops:
