Default Andair Fuel Selector OPeration Question

I have not seen one in the flesh.
Can the fuel be turned off with one hand, and if so how hard/easy is it to do so?
It looks a little hard to do so as the button must be raised to alloew it to turn off implying two hand operation.
Obviously it is good not to turn fuel off unintentionally, but it would be "handy" (no pun intended) to be able to turn off with one hand if making a forced landing.

It's easy for one hand. Just slip a finger under the button and pull up while turning.

I love my Andair valve. I either use a thumb and one finger to lift the button, or with a little extra oomph the detent will lift and the valve will swivel without raising the button.

This valve is the best thing going. Very positive and smooth! It's worth every $ in my opinion.
