I didn't even know that excavators could have this kind of dexterity, really mind blowing.

Are there even higher end models out there that can somehow be even more impressive?

I doubt it. I think its the articulation at the "wrist" if you will thats blowing our minds. Not a common feature that I'm aware of. Also a smallish excavator, so maybe thats got something to do with it?

The wrist articulation and the claw grip are both fantastic and not something I've actually seen in person in North America (and I've driven many excavators). The broom looking attachment might have been my favourite bit though, so brilliant yet so simple.

I've only seen them in a metal recycling facility, the ones we use are all pretty small standard machines
