Clawed hands and a wiper motor?

[Coonce-Ewing]

I'm trying to build a prop which would have claws (think kind of like the ones in those crane games) which would open and close. I need a motor that will run at a slow rate. I was baffled until I saw one of the posts here about a windshield washer motor. The only problem I see is that I'm concerned about size and power. How large are those motors?

I'm going to have a 3-3 1/2" diameter arm.

Thanks

that is exactly the kind of information I need. Time to order one and see what I can do with it.

If it won't fit the claws, I'll at least be able to use it for something else.

I believe you can use it for a kicking hangman too.
