Magic item to grant hands

Question

I can't remember the name or source but I'm looking for a set of magic gloves that were designed to be worn by creatures without hands on the end of appendages that allowed those appendages to function as hands.

Answer 1

Try the gloves of man

I suspect you're remembering the gloves of man (Savage Species 57) (42,000 gp; 0 lbs.), the description of which, in part, says, "These magic gloves provide humanoid fingers and thumbs for the wearer. Any creature may wear them, provided the creature has tentacles or paws over which to slip them. While wearing the gloves, the creature may manipulate items as if it had fully functional hands."
