Yep, we have one at work that we use to break down pipe with. Pipe ranges from 14" to 64".

We get to run just about every kind of Cat machine at work... Go figure, It IS a Cat dealership! I have been there almost 2 years and have never seen one with "The Claw"... Lots of hammers, and buckets with thumbs but sadly no claw. Not like we could tear anything up with it anyway. I would love to get on a demo crew and tear junk apart all day, especially if we got to implode buildings and stuff too. I dreamed of being a mechanic when I was a kid so I could fix stuff, now all I dream about is breaking stuff and blowing it up! If anyone in Colorado or close to Co. is hiring for such a cool job PM me!

That a 345? Ours have buckets. We do lots of demo work. That would be handy. I mainly fix what the IUOE boys break. I stay busy I used to work for CAT and Deere industrial too. Now the dealers have to kiss my ass for business;)
