I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what helps one handle things just out' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'range?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'range?' could be 'oven' (I've seen this before) and 'oven' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'glove' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oven glove that I've seen before include "obstruction to warmth" , "Protection for cook's hand" , "Chef has a hand in this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
