"A pretty skillful collection of handjob content." |

Skilful Hands is a handjob video site featuring "girls going absolutely mad in the face of barenaked bag of tricks." Odd translations like that always crack me up. Anyhow, once I got beyond the humorous text, I was treated to some "grindy hardcore scenes" of "girly games with male genitals." Translation - chicks jerking guys off. There is some sucking involved but the great majority of these scenes are simple stroke-fests, often with a juicy facial to end the scene. The ladies definitely look skilled to me.
The member's area currently offers 136 videos and updates seem to average around ten days apart. That's a good sized collection, but more consistant updates would be nice. I really can't comment for sure on the exclusivity of the content. At first, I thought the movies were original since the tour promises "absolutely unique handjob videos." However, considering how much the videos vary in quality and format, I'm inclined to say they're not. I also spotted a few familiar faces throughout the scenes. Anyhow, I doubt the vids are all that unique but they're not terribly overexposed either.
As I mentioned, there is a lot of variation in the video specs. Almost all scenes have a full-length option. Some can also be viewed in parts. Mpegs, Quicktime vids, and wmvs are scattered throughout the collection, though the Quicktime vids are mostly the older ones. Quality is just above average for the most part. Some still look amateur but you can enlarge them quite a bit without losing much quality. The mpegs in particular looked good to me. I liked what I saw, I just wish the way it was set up was a little more user-friendly. Not only are the video inconsistencies a little annoying, but there is no scene info offered at all. All you're given is a title and thumbnail. There's no description, no model name...just "Brunette giving handjob." Doesn't exactly draw you in, does it?
The photo section includes 68 galleries and I was pleased to see that they're actual digital images and not just vidcaps. Image quality is nice. The pics are large enough at up to 671x1024 and most are quite sharp. The galleries aren't updated nearly as often as the videos but they're a good addition nonetheless.
Members of Skilful Hands also get access to the Cash Maniacs Networkwhich includes over a dozen bonus hardcore sites. They should keep you busy in between updates. That definitely helps the value of the site since $30 a month is a good bit to pay for rather erratic updates on a less than user-friendly site. Still, the content looks good. There's room for improvement on Skilful Hands but I do think it's a good enough site to hold its own against other handjob sites.
