Generally, only hands attached to humans count for these abilities. Hands of cards don’t count, nor do hands of clocks, hands of dolls, and so on. Every hand that touches A Real Handful must do so willingly.

Lifelink matters only as damage is dealt.
(07/10/2022)
Menace matters only as blockers are being declared. If A Real Handful doesn’t have menace and is blocked by one creature, giving it menace won’t change or undo that block.

Pay attention to whether the +2/+2 bonus is applying or not. Damage can suddenly become lethal if A Real Handful loses the bonus after damage has been dealt to it.

The same hand can be touching multiple A Real Handfuls at the same time.

Bonuses will turn on and off as the number of hands touching A Real Handful changes. Touching A Real Handful isn’t a game action, so it doesn’t use the stack. You can just do it at any time.
