I always considered a "hand job" to be work for the self employed. An economical deployment of man-power and time to acheive a satisfactory result. The notion of contracting out this service to another party is quite alien to me (either for favour or a fee)... It's just awquard ... Or maybe my previous contractors didn't have enough experience under their belt? All squeeze and yank, felt like they wanted to rip my nob off every time. (Sorry I am just not at all into pain or discomfort, thinking about it makes my eyes water).
As a one man job often conducted in the shed or garage I enjoy such euphemisms as having an "oil change" or "waxing the flagpole"... Still jobs but more enjoyable unrushed and undisturbed... Almost meditative.😁
