Abrégé

The invention relates to a hand tool (1) for the assembly of small, notably electronic, components. Said hand tool comprises a shaft (10) fitted with a handle (11) as well as a head part (12). In the head part (12) a spindle is mounted which houses a vacuum tool (13) and can be adjusted by means of a finger-actuated turning knob (40). The axis (C) of the spindle or vacuum tool is positioned at a constant angle to the shaft axis (B). The turning knob axis is arranged at a distance from the spindle or vacuum tool axis (C) and offset in the direction of the handle (11). A driving connection is provided for between the turning knob (40) and the spindle. The hand tool (1) can be used comfortably and reliably and prevents the fingers holding on to the handle (11) from creating an obstacle which blocks the user's view of the component or object, thus also avoiding potential damage to the parts to be manipulated with the tool.
