Lightweight and powerful
At first I wasn't sure about a cordless but figured I'd try it and i'm glad I did. Its lightweight and very easy to use. The battery really lasts a long time. The kit comes with plenty of accessories. My only two complaints is that the accessories aren't really labeled so you have to play match the photo to the accessory. And my other complaint is that when turning on or off, the switch seems to be a little loose and it turns on to super high speed.
I used it to sand and buff a few things and it works super. Just make sure you wear goggles and have a good table to work on because the dust flies everywhere.
Other than those two things its worth having it.
Really Nice Set
This is a really nice set, particularly because it's small enough to fit a woman's hand. Also, because it's battery operated, I can use it anywhere. Furthermore, I use it on the slow speed to file my dog's nails. The slow speed doesn't frighten him.
This was a beginning set for me and I would have appreciated a bit more explanation of the various attachments that came with it. Other than that, it's a sweet little deal.
Good for dog nails
I used this on my four Boston Terriers nails. It was better than using the nail clippers. Once I did one or two nails they were used to the noise.
not what I expected
I purchased this dremel primarily for trimming my dogs nails. It is noisier than expected. It does not have a nail guard like the peticare.
I read reviews before purchasing this. I am still learning to use this tool; the owners manual is good ;the cutting tools do not do the things I wanted it to do. I am a chainsaw carver and I was hoping to use the dremel for detail work. I don't beleive I have the attachments capable of those procedures.
Great, when it works
I bought this Dremel to trim my two Bulldogs nails and it's great when it works. However, I've had it just over a month and am sending it back to Dremel for the second time. The battery pack just won't stay in place and I need two hands to operate the thing; very hard to do when one hand needs to hold a dog paw steady. Dremel customer service has been great, very friendly and going the extra mile to fix it, but I wish I would have returned it to Amazon within the 30 day window so I could buy a corded option or at least get a different model. If you're looking at this for my same purpose, it works great, 3-4 seconds to trim each nail, but be prepared to duck tape the battery pack in place.
