This guy builds himself robohands from scrap metal and homemade pully system on the cheap. They're heavier and can get hot and cold, but they seem to work

He was ‘blast fishing’. Serves him right.

how the heck did he build his new hands without hands?? Did he use his feet?

and I say, "hold muh beer and watch this"- Sun Jifa lost both his hands when a homemade blast-fishing bomb exploded prematurely.

He’ll be abducted by the government and forced to build more hands for the rest of his life.

Give a man a fish you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish you feed him for life.
Let a man blast fish and he soon learns the new trade of prosthetic limb Tech.

He didn’t build that! Somebody else made that happen!

Pretty impressive. Maybe he can build a bionic head for Joe Biden.

Wow, the story has everything. Stupidity, desperation, ingenuity, not giving up. While nobody here probably thinks it’s a good idea to dynamite fish, you can sympathize with the guy for not giving up and actually solving his own problems. Now he wants to develop models for other disabled people because the chinese hospital prosthetics are too expensive for most.

Universal human drive there.
