hands:

I help you reach new heights - climbing

I showcase your wares in plain sight - holding it in front of you

I buffer your eyes from the light - shading your eyes

I cripple the strongest man with fright - if it holds a gun or something?

glass:

I help you reach new heights - glass skyscraper?

I showcase your wares in plain sight - display case

I buffer your eyes from the light - sunglasses

I cripple the strongest man with fright - scared to be cut?

These are both very good answers. For hands I think lines 1 and 2 are too stretched. And for glass I think lines 1 and 4 are too stretched. Nice try though.

each line refers to something different. For instance, it wouldn't be hand, hand, hand. hand, it would be more like hand, foot, chest, head to refer to a body, only it has to fit the lines of course

Good guess, but it falls a bit short on 3 lines. Springs or suspension doesn't fit well. The windows aren't much of a showcase. The visor is a good call. The 4th line is too arbitrary. Plenty of guys love cars.

This is an excellent answer, but it doesn't satisfy the 4th line. Again, this is too arbitrary. Not many guys are afraid of trees. Nice try though. This was almost an answer I hadn't considered.

How about WOOD

I showcase your wares in plain sight CASE, or SHELF

I buffer your eyes from the light WALL

I cripple the strongest man with fright COFFIN, or CLOSET (claustrophobia)

Well, that's fine, but what am I?

PLEXIGLASS

to build airplanes

display cases

glasses

glass elevator (again, claustrophobia)

These are good guesses as well, but the claustrophobia reasoning is too loose in my opinion. Neither wood, nor Plexiglas would 'cripple the strongest man with fright'

Perhaps...

Metal?

I help you reach new heights- Metal can build ladders to help you reach new heights

I showcase your wares in plain site- Shops that display wares can be made of metal. Also, you can put items into boxes, which can be made of metal

I buffer your eyes from the light-metal-...uh...shields made of metal?

I cripple the strongest man with fright- metal makes guns. Guns are bad.

This too, is a good answer, and thanks for the explanation, those are great. 'Riddle' though, like all the previous answers falls short on line 4. Check out my hint on post #18. ;)

This hint may give it all away or it may mean absolutely nothing, I can't tell B))

the 4th line seems to be everyone's Achille's heel.

Your hint makes me think of cryptonite, but I can't for the life of me find other fictional elements that would fit into some of the other lines. It seems you are using that reference to let us know that line four is referring to a weakness that the strongest man has, but other than superman, I'm stumped.
