Two hands with seven fingers

Question

Here is my first riddle on this site ; I hope it fits in the right spirit:

I have two hands with seven fingers
that should never touch the others.

My first hand knows how to pull,
apply a force, it's so helpful.
Sometimes home, sometimes away,
This hand is always blocking the way.

My other hand can use hammers,
Or knives, or blades, if it prefers.
These two fingers are for handling,
the other ones are for cutting.

When one middle finger raises, above the others,
ultimate offense! This is the point.
But these fingers are all brothers,
'cause at the end, they are all joint.

Who am I?

It seemed a bit difficult, so some elements were added and the puzzle reworded a bit, that should put you on the right way ... or not?

Answer 1

You are

an Ultimate frisbee game

I have two hands with seven fingers

2 teams, 7 players each

that should never touch the others.

Theoretically it's a non-contact sport

My first hand knows how to pull,

A pull is how a point is started (one team throwing to the other)

apply a force, it's so helpful. Sometimes home, sometimes away,

Force is the way you defend usually on one side to force the player to throw one way. Home and away are how you decide which way as a team to force (home is the side with team benches).

This hand is always blocking the way.

Team on defense is trying to block

My other hand can use hammers, Or knives, or blades, if it prefers.

Hammers and blades are are types of throws (not sure about knives)

These two fingers are for handling, the other ones are for cutting.

A general team line up is typically 2 (or 3) handlers or people that are usually throwing the discs. The others are called cutters and are responsible for cutting, getting open and catching the disc (they usually try to get it back to the handlers if there is no easy way forward)

When one middle finger raises, above the others, ultimate offense! This is the point.

If one player jumps higher and catches the disc in the endzone it is a point)

But these fingers are all brothers, 'cause at the end, they are all joint.

It's generally a very close knit community and teams will often do something together at the end, be it shake hands, spirit games (silly game at the end), etc.

Answer 4

You are

A gamer

I have two hands with seven fingers that should never touch the others.

One hand on WASD and the other on the mouse

My first hand knows how to pull, apply a force, it's so helpful. Sometimes home, sometimes away, This hand is always blocking the way.

The left hand is generally used for mobility and can be used to go home, block the way, pull things, push things, etc

My other hand can use hammers, Or knives, or blades, if it prefers. These two fingers are for handling, the other ones are for cutting.

The right hand is the mouse and is often used for attacking with things like knives and such

When one middle finger raises, above the others, ultimate offense! This is the point. But these fingers are all brothers, 'cause at the end, they are all joint.

I'm not sure about the first half of this, but maybe the gamer has special attacks mapped to q, e, or the number keys? But in the end, they're all attached to the gamer
