Use a dictionary, please. If English isn’t your first language, maybe start with a translating dictionary, then refine your understanding by using a reference English dictionary.

I've heard of hang on, pass it on, handed onto, hand it down, hand-me-down, handed down, and a few other variations, but I've never heard of just hand on or hand down.

@JasonBassford depending on context I could "hand on" a baton or I could "hand down" my clothes !

@KJO Neither of those phrases (with that exact spelling and no intervening words) sounds normal to me, even in those contexts.

@JasonBassford "Hand on" heart they are the first that spring to mind as a result of up bringing "hand me downs" were accepted whatever the phrasing and to hand on ones responsibility's or obligations can be just as welcome
