The 550 2 coil is easy to set over knee and I think the 4 coil as well. The 650 has wire levers and I can't grip them with my palms. On solid ground I use the edge of my boot tip. That may not be possible in snow. They make a setting tool that is designed to allow you to hold the trap open with one hand. It is not difficult to use, but I don't use it because if your grip slips it would seem rather dangerous....the setting lever would be a projectile launched by a very stout spring.
