Would "was looking" at his hands also be correct? I'm on the phone version so can't check

    No. That would be: "Díval se na své ruce."

      "He has looked at his hands" is accepted here?

        I am not entirely sure when one uses the present perfect tense with these verbs. It seems to be quite rare but possible. I am not sure if it is appropriate here.

        Why not He looked at his hands? Může mi někdo vysvětlit, kdy se používá spojení took a look? Děkuji.
