The Rhino Hammer, a Tool for Quickly Removing Laser-Cut Parts from the Sheet
Fun to watch, but has to be murder on the joints
The Rhino Hammer is an effective but brutish air-powered tool for removing tabbed parts from a sheet of laser-cut steel. Here's how:

Here it is on slightly larger parts:

And knocking parts out of a 1/4"-thick grade 50 steel sheet:

As someone whose hands go numb when using a sander for too long—yes, even with the silly vibro-gloves on—I cannot imagine using this tool at length. I understand that they made it handheld for convenience's sake, but I do not envy that worker, or at least I wouldn't in ten years' time. I'd love to see some ergonomics-minded design firm tackle this.

This is clearly for smaller fab shops that don't have an endless stack of sheets to process every day that would justify the purchase of a large, room-sized machine that can do this on its own. They're working over a Husky cart so a $60,000 table is probably out of the question.
That does not look comfortable. I recall years ago visiting a printing plan where they did cereal boxes and they used a pneumatic hammer to separate the waste cardboard from the 3 ft tall stacks of printed and die cut boxes.
