Regrowing a lost claw in a lobster is an example of asexual reproduction. This process involves regenerating a body part through mitosis from the existing cells of the organism, without the involvement of gametes from two parents.
Some lobsters have one claw larger than the other due to a phenomenon called bilateral gynandromorphy, where individuals have both male and female characteristics. This can result in one side having a larger claw typical of a male lobster, while the other side has a smaller claw like a female lobster. It is a rare occurrence in crustaceans.
A cheliped is a specialized claw-bearing appendage found in crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters. It is used for capturing and handling food, defense, and grooming. The term "cheliped" comes from the Greek words "chela," meaning claw, and "pous," meaning foot.
The finger of a claw is called a digit. It is the part of the claw that is used for grasping or manipulation.
The adze eye in a claw hammer is a hole at the bottom of the claw that allows for easier removal of nails by providing a pivot point for the nails to be levered out. This feature increases efficiency and precision when pulling out nails with the claw hammer.

Lobsters have two unequal, specialized claws, a cutter claw for tearing food and a crusher claw for crushing it up.
i got grabbed by an 8 pounder and it totally broke my finger.
They have two types of claw one for crushing and one for cutting. The crushing claw is very stong and can crack a mussel shell, and the mussel can be eaten.
The main danger from lobsters is from their claws. The claws of lobsters are very powerful, and can easily break a finger or even an arm if you are handling a large lobster. Care should be used whenever handling clawed lobsters. Although the muscles used to close the claw are very strong, the muscles used to open the claw are quite weak. So a tight rubber band around the claws of lobsters is enough to keep them closed and makes for much safer handling of live lobsters.

Lobsters ( Homarus americanus) have two claws. One is a crusher claw which it uses to open shellfish such as clams and muscles to get at the tender meat inside. The other claw is a feeder claw or pincher which is more manoeuvrable and it brings the food to its mouth this way. Lobsters can also just feed by positioning its mouth close to its food which is how damaged ( clawless) lobsters can continue to eat. Spiney lobsters (Panulirus argus) do not have either the crusher or the feeder claw yet they eat well.
