My dog's breeder recommended this model to use for keeping the dog's nails trimmed. Absolutely perfect for filing down her nails. I always put on a pair of gardening gloves (you know how puppies and dogs wiggle) and this cordless wonder works GREAT. Good price, great work. A very good buy.

I bought this to care for the black nails of our dog. I can take very small amounts of nail off at a time, and the nails are smoothed as I go. I started using it on the guinea pig, too, and she likes it much better thatn clippers. The dremel is pretty quiet and runs for 15-20 minutes on one battery charge. It performs exactly as I hoped, and I'm very pleased.

It is the perfect tool to keep my dogs' nails from overgrowing. Just a few touches on the nails with the tool, my dog gets a treat for being patient about the chore, and the job is done.

I bought one of these tools, when it first hit the street.Man was I surprised with the power. After about 2 years of serious duty I finally wore it out.The only down side was not being able to precisely control the speed.You cant go wrong here folks dremel has built a reputation on simplicity and reliability.This minimite is no exception and is definitely tool box worthy. Now get out there and grind,cut,polish something.

Rufus, our big red dog, screams like a baby whenever the nail clippers come out. His antics make clipping his nails impossible - you'd think we were cutting his leg off. We read that some people used a Dremel tool to do their dogs' nails, so after a little research, we got the 750-02 Minimite. It works like a charm. The abrasive disk is just the right size and the low speed works just right. A few millimeters each weekend and the dog hardly makes a sound when walking on a hard floor. Best of all, he doesn't mind having his nails done. This tool is perfect for our 80 pound dog. I like the grip and the rechargeable battery too. Highly recommended.

I love this tool!! I didn't realize I needed it until I had it. As a manicurist, this is a less expensive, but better, alternative to the fancy "nail professional" drills/sanders (check your state laws before using it on clients). And there's no cord to get in the way!

As a crafter, I can't tell you how many times I've pulled this out to do the smallest things! So very convenient, and easy to store.

The cordless Minimite is a perfect compliment to Dremel's electric Moto-tools! This tool is great for quick jobs away from AC power. I recently installed car stereo speakers and the tool's small size, fast speed, and availability of bits made the speaker cutouts in a confined space quick and easy. I strongly recommend having a spare battery for minimum down time.

I got this specifically to trim our dog's nails. It does a great job for that... our dog didn't pull away like she did with nail clippers. One thing you might need to know is that the tool pictured is not what you will get. You will get the newer model (or at least we did). Be careful... batteries for the older model do not fit this new one and vise-versa. The batteries for the newer model are round, not square so make sure if you're buying an extra battery that you get the right one.

The Dremel MiniMite Cordless Drill-Pet Nail Trimming Tool is a work-horse. An excellent buy for the money. Convenient because you don't get tangled up in the cord while trimming your pets nails - highly recommend this product to all pet owners!

I absolutely love my Dremel! I have a 20lb pug who HATES going to the groomers to get his nails cut (can't say I blame him!). My mother-in-law breeds labs and she swears by the Dremel, but I had my doubts. After doing my homework on the safety of using a rotary tool to cut nails (according to many, grinding nails is actually less painful if the quick is cut, and it bleeds less), I chose this model because a) it's cordless and b) has a rechargeable battery.

My dog's nails were quite long when I first used the tool - so I definitely hit the quick on a few of them. It didn't seem to hurt him a lot, just seemed like it stung for a second, and they didn't bleed at all. I did his nails in stages over a period of a few days, he's not scared of the tool, nor the noise it makes when it is on, but if you have a dog who is skiddish, this may not be the option for you. Also, it takes some wrangling and determination to do this - my dog squirms and scratches. But after awhile he just gives up, which is when I'm able to really make progress.

I'm confident now that his nails are at a point where he'll just need maintenance once a week or so, he'll get very comfortable with the process and it will be a piece of cake. I love the fact that I'm able to easily maintain his nails (I was never comfortable cutting them myself) and I know that he's not in any pain. It's so imporatant to keep your pet's nails trimmed, and the Dremel allows you to do that safely and easily! Plus, at $20 a pop at the local pet store to get his nails cut - the Dremel has already paid for itself!

Pros: Cordless, Rechargeable Battery, Battery lasts a looong time before needing to recharge, 2 speeds (use the low setting for nails), light weight, easy to hold.

Cons: None!
