Highlighted Reviews
"This nail grinder is great for those looking for smoother nail trims with a lower likelihood of nail splitting and quick damage. I like the variety of grinder heads for any size nail."
"I bought this because the cordless grinders tend to not work at full power for very long. I expected a corded grinder to last! I wasn't even able to get through doing one of my dog's feet before it went dead and I haven't been able to get it to turn on again."
Bottom Line
For those looking for a nail grinder, consider this one carefully. It has potential but the frequent reports of reliability issues make it a less-than-ideal choice. Long-term users might find it lacking in durability, so it's best used sparingly.
