The Dremel dos a poor job at grinding down nails. I tried the cheaper Dremel but it barely takes off any nail at all. It is hard to control and does not do much grinding. I previously had a Peticure and it worked very well until a bearing in the motor failed. The Peticure's nail protection cover seemed to be a little bit of a hassle, but it actually worked very well - it helped position the sanding drum and let me apply more pressure to ramove more nail faster. I think I will order a corded Peticure and be done with it.
The 5 accessories are just sanding disks.I do own the original Dremel tool and it is a wonderful tool for what is originally designed, but would not recommend any of these tools for a pet. I have both the Dremel and Pedi Paws in front of me, and the Dremel is louder.
After chasing the cats for days, I found the Pedi - Pawa useless (they were scared of the noise). I originally purchased a "Pedi - Paws", which is very similar to the Dremel pet tool.
Not the case. One timid cat chose to bite me versus sustain the torment on being held with this noisy product.
Then came the Dremel, claimed by some sales folks to have a "soothing" sound to animals. Unless your pet is deaf or enjoy's outings with you on July 4th, I'd recommend old fashion files or nail clippers.As a side note, 4 AAA batteries are not included.
I bought this for mixing powdered protein drink mixes and it works great. Been using it daily for a week with some average rechargeable batteries and it's been going strong. Rather than use a tabletop mixer or a plug-in handheld mixer I considered hacking up my own using a battery Dremel as the driver.I purchased two here on Amazon at a great price and a collet kit (Dremel #4485) that would allow me to use the mixer wire from the broken frother. I don't suppose it's built for immersion in any liquid. I bought some small battery powered mixers from Ikea (sold as Produkt: the packaging suggests use as a milk frother) that were disappointingly underpowered and always left clumps of unmixed powder in the drink. The motor failed on one after about six months of use. I did not buy this for trimming nails. It has no cords to deal with, no electrical outlet to be tethered to (as if I need to travel while mixing.)., practically dries itself after cleaning (just turn it on to fling off the water) and store it away nicely in a drawer until next time.Keep in mind this is not a use the manufacturer intended.
The manual specifies alkaline batteries only. Cleanup is a breeze - just operate the mixer in some clean water either in a cup or running from the tap. There's a host of other warnings to be aware of when using this tool - hopefully you get the idea.Again, it works great. The high speed setting often causes spills so I compensate by reserving some water or milk until I'm done mixing, then top off. I've used shaker cups, which never worked well. The milk frother is not exactly a 'Dremel approved' attachment.
Add four NiMH rechargeable batteries and I get the smoothest drinks, mixed right in the glass.The Dremel has plenty of power for this use on the low setting using rechargeable batteries. I've used this setup for mixing in cups and glasses ranging in size from six ounces to twenty-two ounces and found it more than powerful enough. Dremel advises to wear eye protection and a dust mask when using. I just don't use it for trimming nails.
And still have time to spare. And with 2 dogs (and a lot of nails) I just didn't have the desire to put so much time into it.
and sadly, no. Oh, I was hoping I would be able to stop getting my dogs nail clipped with the purchase of this trimmer.
But in order to grind down the nails enough to really shorten them, I was having to grind them for a long amount of time. This works more like a nail file, smoothing out the edges.
Which is a good thing, too. It is less time for me to drive to the groomers, get them clipped, drive home, and file them with the Dremel.
So, while I will continue using this -- it will be for to smooth the edges of their clipped nails.
bought to do pets nails -- not as easy as states. Tool gets hot against nail too quick. Goes thru batteries way to fast.
