big hands

[Mazatlan]

My hands and fingers are XXL. Does anyone know of tools like nut drivers, tweezers, and the like for large hands in small spaces.

Last time I went to collect my medication the pharmacist said I had beautiful hands.
Be that as it may, they still won't fit where they need to be to undo that last PH00 screw.

Putting "precision tools" into Google brings up a wealth of links - you might find some of them useful, though you can spend a lot of money if you're not careful

I have a tool that I use all the time. Do not know what to call it so I will try and describe it. It looks like a pen. When you press on the top spring loaded wire fingers extend from the bottom. Put a screw into the fingers and the spring retracts the fingers to hold the screw. You can then start the screw and switch to a screw driver to finish. I first saw this tool used by model railroaders. It has saved me from screws dropped behind mother boards more than once.

Pick up tool or cotton claw

No idea where the last comes from but a search finds them Very handing in wargame modelling esp for 6mm single figures.

This sort of thing? :

It's a Kleps 2600 grip test probe.

No that is no good for picking up small things, he means something like this:

That is good, mahjongg. Do you have a name/product manufacturer's details for that item?
(I'd like to get one.)

Try searching for "screw gripper"

I've also got one for cross-head screws, but can't remember where it came from.
Similarly you can get tools specially for undoing certain coaxial connectors - e.g. BNC, F-type - and pliers with extra-long and/or cranked ends

Chinese from aliexpress: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32759206262.html

sorry if it leads to the dutch version of aliexpress, don't know how to avoid that.

Brilliant! Thanks for the information, everybody.
