They should show the hand crushing a human-like figurine at the end.. just to mess with people

This is the end.

you can make this a bit longer and turn down and up this robot hand...

I just love how it drops that egg to the ground.

to the people saying this is good for people who have lost a hand: how would this benefit them? lol. 1. it's controlled with triggers, so you have to use a real hand to control it. 2. it uses an air compressor. will the person carry an air compressor on their back with a mile long extension cord to keep it plugged in? hahahaha. it IS pointless

[matthewsjc1]

this method is lame compared to almost all the other methods being used elsewhere. in fact, it seems each finger only has one of two options: opened or closed, with no range in between. plus, you see some of them not opening the whole way upon release, because of the weak elastic approach. i'm not impressed. lol

you should show it playing a piano :D

OH GOD!!! THAT IS THE HAND FROM TERMINATOR 2!!!!!!!!!

@killer120070507 It isn't pointless, it's an animatronic device for use in robotics or special effects. Why do you waste your time looking at videos that are beyond your understanding? Has the world run out of porn sites for you? And on that thought, you may very well need one of these hands when you've worn yours out your own hand clicking on internet porn.

Ought to replace the elastic with something else - it'll wear down with use over time.

hello, I have a question

I don't understand how the accordions are positioned to close the hand??
