Abstract: An apparatus for volume reduction of material removed from a hazardous environment. The apparatus includes a shielded housing for receiving a workpiece therein, at least one cutting unit having a cutting head operable for contactless cutting, and a drive unit for rotating the at least one cutting unit around a main axis so the cutting head cuts the workpiece.

Abstract: An extension tooling apparatus can include a delivery portion and a control portion. The delivery portion can include a base element mountable to a fixed surface, an arm pivotably coupled to the base element, and a tool attachment coupled to a tool end of the arm. The control portion can include a shank, a tip member joined to a tip end of the shank, and a collar adjacent a distal end of the tip member. The collar can support the tool attachment of the delivery portion so that positioning of the tool attachment is controllable by movement of the shank. The extension tooling apparatus can be useful for manipulating nuts, bolts, and other hardware from a distance.
