I received my factory (optional) thumb for my BH65 recently and so far I love it. Initially the pin that secures it in the desired position would not go in far enough to let the retaining pin go in it. It was in there when I got it back from the dealer but looks like they must have used a hammer to make it happen.
Five mins with the die grinder solved that problem by removing a tiny bit on the handle portion of the big pin. Looking at the way this thumb positions (it's a tube in tube type design) I believe that it could very easily be converted to hydraulic operation. It's not something on my list as of yet, but I'm sure it one day will be. Any way here are a few pics of it for those who may be wondering about the thumb.
