forCycling.com - Dremel 761-03 Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool

Its a rare human who actually enjoys clipping a dogs nails; and rarer still, the dog who enjoys it. Enter Dremels cordless groomer, a quiet, battery-powered rotary tool that gently grinds down your pets nails without cutting. We happen to know a particular hound named Sophie whos endured more than her share of cracked nails and bleeding nail beds, the result of the standard guillotine-type nail trimmers. Though she was a bit wary of the Dremel, she sniffed at it and decided it was harmless. Then we set it on the floor and turned it on. Sophie seemed concerned for a minute, but then lost interest. We let her get used to the sound of the Dremel for a few minutes, then got down to business. We expected her to cringe and pull away when we took paw in hand, for what usually follows is not pleasant for her. She submitted reluctantly at first to the Dremel, probably expecting the worst, but once we distracted her with a piece of rawhide, she forgot about the nail hubbub and let us carry on. The whole thing was quick and painless, which made a change for Sophie, and was actually kind of soothing for the humans, which definitely made a change for us. We followed the advice in the manual and alternated between two paws at a time, not keeping the abrasive on any nail for more than a couple of seconds, and we made sure each nail was cool before grinding it a second time. If we had a criticism, it would be to wish only that Dremel would include the -inch drum for larger dogs like Sophie as well as the smaller one. Other than that, its a tail-wagger.

Customers' Reviews:

Not enough power

With fresh batteries, this tool is still very slow. Not nearly fast enough to do the job quickly (which is essential with an animal that doesn't like to be held).

Dremel Pet Nail Trimmer

Don't waste your time.
It's weak, has low RPMs and BURNS through batteries.
FOUR at a time no less.
WELL worth the money to get a real Dremel tool, it's much
easier on the pets nails and gets the job done so much
faster that they don't fidget as much. There's far less
vibration with the extra RPMs as well.

Convenient, but runs a bit weakly

This tool is a battery powered Dremel tool with a sanding drum about the diameter of a pencil. It does a much better job than the most expensive clippers we have bought. The dog tolerates this better than the clippers - she doesn't like the smell of the nail (claw) dust but hates the evil clippers that bite her from time to time. I don't know if it is the switch or the battery holder contacts, but sometimes this tool has a tough time getting up to and holding its speed. Freedom from a cord is nice, but if you already own a variable speed Dremel tool that you can really slow down (2000 rpm) with quarter- or half-inch sanding drum, you can do as well.

A bit disappointed

Does not work well on puppy nails or our senior dog. I understand it takes time and can only do a few seconds at a time, but it takes WAY too long for each nail. I would never be able to catch up... Wish it was able to shave away nails quicker. Item is loud too and not all the powerful...

Does not work well at all

The Dremel dos a poor job at grinding down nails. 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. I tried the cheaper Dremel but it barely takes off any nail at all. 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.
