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

I'm having trouble divining a difference in meaning in English between "He took a look at his hands" which is accepted and "He looked at his hands" which isn't. In terms of tense or ongoing activity I can't see any difference between those two sentences in English. Each of them is an event that happened once. He took a look perhaps implies a quicker glance, but then it doesn't accept "He glanced at his hands" either.
