David Kahn Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I've always thought smithing would be much easier if one could just hold the XXXXXXX stuff directly. Wonder if that will be possible soon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13378036 . Anyway, it's a strange new world we're heading into. Quote
Francis Trez Cole Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 just think you could have a third or fourth hand around the shop I would not want to give up what I have Quote
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 If I lost my hand I would want a "tong hand". Hold the work and rotate like that, be pretty handy. Quote
clinton Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 The full rotation is pretty cool, but I prefer to keep my original Quote
Marksnagel Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 The freedom that that would give to a disabled person would be great. Not having to rely on others for the simplest of tasks. I'm with Grant but I would want interchangable attachments. Hand, tongs, visegrips, rocket launcher Mark<>< Quote
basher Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I am willing to bet you could buy a full size forging manipulator for the same price as one of those hands . it is an amazing thing but I am not sure i would want to put my bionic hand near a forge. Quote
