Q. Are clock hands replaceable?

The hands of clocks rotate around the face of the clock owing to the mechanism within the clock which may be powered by a battery or by a spring in the case of clocks that need to be wound. When the hands of a clock begin to rust and become difficult to turn because the face cover is not airtight it is time to replace the hands. If you prop up the ends of the new hands as you place them on the clock you won't have to worry about bending them in the process. The hands of the clock can be replaced or removed without exerting any effort at all. Just turning the minute hand backward will reset a clock. A second hand is an optional addition that may be seen on some types of clocks. It is always the hand that is farthest from the nut. Alter the second hand so that it moves in the same way as the minute hand and the hour hand.
