''NOT'' a Power Weapon.

Hydraulic Claws are a type of weapon used by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Usually mounted on [[Kataphron Battle Servitors]], these weapons are driven not only by powerful pistons, but also sanctified oils that are collected, drip by drip, from God-Machines at rest. The Tech-Priests’ belief is that in maintaining this process, they confer some of the Titan’s strength to their servitors. One who has witnessed the ruin wrought by a hydraulic claw will be hard pressed to refute it.

Despite its name, it is no way related a normal industrial hydraulic claw, as these things are ''definitely'' designed to crush skulls of heretics and xenos alike. Seriously, look at those talons, you ain't gonna handle fragile cargo in a safe manner like that.
 
On tabletop, the Hydraulic Claw is essentially a power fist with less armor penetration. The weapon isn't bad, what is bad is the Breacher it is mounted on: what it gains in chance to wound it loses in chance to hit, and its meager AP doesn't let it capitalize on the D3 damage (which is the actual strength of power fists, not their strength). Barely better than the Arc Claw, but it also costs double.
