Dremel

KSdogowner · 08-12-2011, 05:48 PM

Lexie's dark nails are difficult to trim because no matter how careful I am, I always seem to hit the quick. I have been using the clipper with the guard..still, I hit the quick. So, I found the Dremel 7300-PT at Amazon and wanted to ask if anybody has this one before. Any suggestions for other Dremel products are appreciated as well.

Thanks.

Anyone?

I don't have that Dremmel but my parents have the stick one. I find it to hard to hold and I like my Dremmel better. I have this one Dremel 1100-N/25 7.2 Volt Stylus Rotary Tool Kit#

Its much easier to hold, cordless, multiple settings, rechargable. The long sticks tend to hop around in my hand where as this version has a set handle you are holding and the rest sits ontop of you hand. Plus it has like 10-12 speed settings versus high/low.

That looks like a nice one. Thanks, Gilly

It is a bit pricey but I love my Dremel Stylus. I have used it for years now on many dogs.

The one Gilly mentioned? I don't mind paying a bit more if it works great. I used to have the one they advertise..PetPaw something...and it was a waste. This is why I would like to hear what people use and actually works so I won't waste my money again. Thanks y'all for your input. I appreciate it.

I have a cordless Dremel (I'm assuming they are pretty much all the same -- maybe different rotations or some such). I love my Dremel and haven't actually 'clipped' nails in years. Once you get use to using it, you shouldn't have any issues and I have yet to quick a dog using a Dremel!

Cool. I figured they GOT to be easier than the clippers. I have gotten to the point where I am stressing about clipping Lexie's nails. Lexie hates it...I would, too if I were her. So I want to spare her. So this helps hugely. Lexie says "thanks", too.

Yes, mine is the one Gilly mentioned. I have several of the cheaper Dremels around and they didn't have the power and were not as well made. I do a lot of nails though.
