Manuality -- Dexterity -- Able at Using Hands Hi, I am confused. Few help online. Imagine that I have to describe a skill with a word, eg. -- Dexterity, or Manuality The skill is, -- "being really able to create objects with hands, or being able to use hand tools", like in Handicrafts or Mechanics. Apart from the wrong hyphenation, "Hand-skills" has very few search results. What can I say?

You could say 'dexterity'or 'manual dexterity' if you specifically want a noun. Otherwise, we'd generally use a phrase such as 'He's good with his hands'. Forget about 'hand skills'. 'Manuality' is not a word. It does not exist.

In the U.S., we sometimes use “handy” to describe a person who is good at working with tools. Example: “Fred is really handy around the house. He remodeled the kitchen by himself, and he built a beautiful wall around his back garden.” The word is very casual but commonly used for this meaning.

Manuality is not an English word. You need to use dexterity or possibly "handyman skills". However the common idiom we always use is "good with his hands'. "he's good with his hands". I suppose today in a PC correct society you might have to say "good with their hands".
