Talon Hand 3.0 by profbink

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a wrist-powered device, so the user needs a wrist to be able to actuate the fingers.
Version 3 of the Talon Hand easier to build and more comfortable to wear than the Talon Version 2 and it still offers the superior grip strength and effortless actuation of version 2.7
