You mean "hand" rather than "finger". The phrase refers to someone who is capable of carrying out all sorts of different types of job or tasks to a reasonable standard. For example, whilst he might be an electrician, he may also be good at plumbing, needlework, decorating, sculpture, computer repairs, etc.
