What type of Robot Hands do others recommend

What Type Of Robot Hands Do Others Recommend

Finishing up a robot project but struggling with useful hands.  I want to be able to pick items up at different angles, move them and put them down.  I tried a complicated hand with 5 servo's. It looks cool but doesn't work very well as a hand. I tried the old robot claws we all know and they work well but are very heavy due to the fact I have 2 HDD servo's one for wrist and one for the claw, so the arm and shoulder servo's struggle to lift the hands let alone an object.  Does anyone have a good recommendation for a light weight but functional hands that can pick up an object from any angle?

Is that this one @Nomad  looks like 1 servo for hand and opens and closes all at once. I must admit the 5 servo to control each separate finger is great if you want to learn binary or give someone the finger but practically I wasn't overly impressed and 2 hands chew up 10 ports on my  EZ-B.
