Lets hope that Brody's mom will answer--she has a good one. I have the "pedicure" electric one that you plug in anc chaerge---good power but the head of it is narrow and doesn't stay fixed with out the "guide" piece. I take the "guide" piece off since the chi nails are so small if I used the "guide" I'd not be taking any nail off at all. I use the pedi-paws most often. The head is great and it works well but it is battery run and it goes through battereis fast. If the battery is weak at all it could take ages to get teh task done. So mostly I use the pedi-paws with new batteries. I thought thaT I saw some in Doctors Foster and Smith catalog....

I remember tracy had said she had one and a few others agreed that it was a good brand..was it home depot? I will try to look through the old forums again.

I use the grinder from Harbor Freight. It comes with a million attachments, but I just use the little sandpaper wheels. I've had mine for several years and it still works great. It was inexpensive, around $10 bucks. It does a really nice job.

I also have the Harbor Freight one. I don't use it anymore because I have to do their nails by myself now and it is too hard to hold them at the same time... But when I did use it, it worked great!

I use my husbands dremel from his workshop..he put a little ginder on and it works great for doing their nails...

We used to use the Harbor Freight one also, until DH bought the one at Petsmart called Dremel. It is sooooooo much better! And wireless, which is extra amazing.

 

[teetee]

just curious, what makes the dremel better than the HF one?

 

[Blondie87]

It just works way quicker for us so it doesn't take as long, has different speeds, and is wireless!

I bought the harbor freight one. Which piece is best to use?

anyone here that could help me with this?

I have one from home depot- it is actual "Dremel" brand. I LOVE it mostly because the settings are very precise and I can trim everything from a 100lb foster dog down to my 22lb mix and my 5 lb chi. It was over 100$ though, and I probably would not have gotten it except that I needed a dremel for my home improvement projects and such anyway. I get a lot of use out of it for the dogs and around the house. I am not sure if Dremel brand makes cheaper ones- but I have had this one for a long time and I get a lot of use out of it. I would give it 5 stars!

The sandpaper one!

 

[teetee]

Was that a silly question? lol I really didn't know. There are so many different pieces!

 

[Brodysmom]

NO, never a silly question. The reddish sandpaper one is the one I use.

Tiffany, did you already try it? Just wondering how it worked out. I need to find some other way of doing Ode's nails. What's funny is that I used to do a grizzly bear encounter talk at the wildlife park I worked at, and they would use a dremel to trim the bear's nails everyday through the enclosure fence. Dremels--good for chihuahuas and grizzly bears.
