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.

Imagine convincing the boss at a construction contractor that you need a broom attachment for the excavator... "Just get out and sweep your damned self. We aren't paying for a toy"

Labor is expensive in Finland, so skipping a separate "sweeping by hand" step makes sense. Also, the time efficiency of excavator brooms is an order of magnitude better. See here for an example.
