bare hands
Without any gloves
Bare hands are hands without gloves, tools, or weapons—hands alone.
The phrase emphasizes direct physical contact or effort: He caught the fish with his bare hands, She built the business with her bare hands.
It often implies remarkable capability or vulnerability: fighting off an attacker with his bare hands.
