Just wondering how do I reposition the universal manipulator tool on an object?

    You can't it only picks the Nodes of objects. If a Prop only has one Node that is all it can pick. A figure has many nodes (bones) so you can pick each one.

    If you mean the control widget - with the arrows and arcs for adjusting the item - then it appears at the nodes origin, it isn't movable (other than moving the origin, which would break a figure but would be OK on a single-node prop - you can use the Joint Editor, or a free script from adjusting origins). For single node items another option is to parent them to a null placed where you want the origin, and then to use that for posing.
