Hi, Sue—I have tried to find out just how much hand strength is needed for the Sizzix. I’ve never gotten an answer. I’d love to hear your opinion! I have arthritis in both hands & I’d hate to spend the money only to find out I can’t use it.
Thank you very much!
I use the big shot. It has a hand crank. I don’t think it uses much hand strength. Although if you use it to cut a lot of stuff you might get tired of cranking. I hope this helps.
I reread your comment. I’m not sure your pain level or strength. The cranking uses the same motion as driving a car. Do you live close to a independent scrapbook store? They may have one in their classroom that you could try out.
Thank you! I read both of your responses & the thought of a scrapbook store never crossed my mind. I will look into that & I do drive so hopefully I’ll be able to use one. I love the ideas that you come up with so I really want to look into getting some of the “tools” you use in those fun crafts!
Thank you again for responding–you’re the only one that has & I tried to contact through the direct Sizzix site to get some type of idea about how hard they might be to operate.
Sincerely, Deb Berryman
I hope it works out for you.
