>the hand is designed to use tools. Building them in just limits their use

I have a Decker who has two cyberarms-one contains a cyberdeck and a couple
of datajacks, while the other has a memory unit and a smartgun system. Both
hands have tools in the fingertips (microtronics toolkit in one, cutters and
flashlight in other). It DOES NOT limit his usefulness...when the tools are
not in use, they retract. And, he always has his tools with him. Nothing to
drop. Nothing to forget. And how do you take away all of his stuff...Rip
off his armored limbs? That's what the holdout in the extra space is for.

FYI-his arms were designed using NERPS.
