# Ideally, a person should loosen his grasp of the kli for a second so that it leaves his grip for a moment. If a person is worried about it falling and breaking or getting lost, it is advisable to do the tevilat kelim over a basket. If that’s not possible such as with a large fragile kli, one should 1) first hold onto the kli with both hands, 2) remove one hand momentarily and then grasp it again, 3) remove the other hand and grasp it again.<ref>The Chelkat Binyamin 120:26 writes that there’s 4 opinions about whether holding onto the kelim poses as a chasisa: | |||
* The Rama 120:2 and Levush 120:2 hold that as long as the hand was wet with mikveh water and wasn’t removed from the mikveh and then took hold of the kli it is an effective tevilah. However, if the hand was wet with regular tap water or mikveh water but was then removed from the mikveh and then took hold of the kli the tevilah is ineffective. | |||
* The Gra holds that whether the hand was wet by mikveh water or other water the tevilah is effective. | |||
* The Taz holes that if the hand was wet with mikveh water and didn’t leave the mikveh it is an effective tevilah even if she grabbed tightly. If the hand was wet with non-mikveh water or mikveh water but was removed from the mikveh and then it holds onto the kli tightly the tevilah is ineffective. | |||
* The Mahari Bruna holds that even if the hand was wetted with mikveh water and didn’t leave the mikveh if it is holding tightly the tevilah is ineffective. The halacha follows the Rama but one should be strict for the Taz unless it is an extenuating circumstance.</ref> | |||
