Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Can Opener

Even if you don’t have rheumatoid arthritis, using a manual can opener can be a test of strength. When you add pain to the task, it makes this daily activity seem insurmountable. Of the electric can openers on the market, the sleekly designed Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Can Opener is among the most reliable. Unlike other electric can openers, this Hamilton Beach model has the blade cut along the side of the can instead of around the top. This will help prevent splattering of food as you remove the top without worrying about the sharp edges of the lid. The lever is easy to use with a gentle press, requiring minimal grip strength to remove the lid.

Hamilton Beach Open Ease Automatic Jar Opener

There are few daily activities that test your grip strength more than opening stubborn jars. Hamilton Beach has solved this problem thanks to their Open Ease Automatic Jar Opener. The opener can handle any jar with lids that are 1 to 4 inches in diameter. Just place the opener over the lid of the jar and press a single button to engage the jar and open the lid. You’ll get up to 250 jar openings for every pair of AA batteries that you use. But the amount of joint pain it will save you will far exceed the amount you’ll spend on a pair of Duracells.
