Andis Nail Grinder Replacement Accessory Pack, Multi, 5.75 x 0.50 x 4.00 inches (65920)

This is the third grinder I've owned, the other two were battery powered and the battery wore out and was almost as expensive to replace as the grinder itself. I was happy to see this product for this price on Amazon, because a corded grinder is going to give you more consistent speeds (the battery powered one would slow down as the battery died). I guess maybe it was because the battery was old but every single time I went to use the thing the battery was totally dead. That meant I had to wait until the next day to do my dogs' nails. Now that I have two dogs that is unacceptable.The quality of this grinder is nice. It's not too loud. It has two speeds. The low speed seems to be high enough to get the job done. A little assembly is required, but it's not difficult. The most important thing is probably tightening the screw that holds the band to the drum. A lot of people have complained about it slipping, but I can tell you the same thing happened on my Dremel until I learned to make sure the band was on tight.There were some concerns from other reviewers about power. I have a 60# dog and on low speed it works fine on her nails. You don't want this to be too powerful because if you have a dog with long hair and you get hair wrapped around this, you want it to stop. I think it's good enough to do the job. You're just filing nails here.My only concern right now is the cord on this is very thin and seems flimsy. And, instead of the cord detaching from the end that goes into the grinder so it would be replaceable, it detaches from the brick that plugs into the wall. So, you could replace the brick, but not the cord. If it breaks, I'll come back and update my review. I hold onto things forever, so the durability and serviceability are important to me.IF YOU'RE NEW TO GRINDING NAILS:I detest clipping my dogs' nails. A few years ago I discovered grinding as the way to go and I will never clip again. When I got a puppy and she wasn't used to the grinder I tried buying clippers on her since she is so much smaller than my other dog (15# versus about 60#). With her nails being smaller and softer I thought I could clip them. The first time I used them went fine. The second time I hit the quick and I don't know who felt worse, her or me.It doesn't take long to condition your dog to accept the grinder. I found a video on the internet that walks you through it step-by-step. Start with the grinder off, just show it to her and give her a treat. Then hold the grinder, still off, and put it up to her foot as you hold it and give her a treat. Slowly work your way up to actually grinding and giving her treats often.

I have 2 pugs that I have trained to tolerate nail trimming with a Dremel-like tool. I have been using a Pedi-Paws for many years. It works well, if you keep fresh batteries in it and if you do not apply much pressure to the grinder end, as it will stop. I think that is a safety measure so that it does not hurt the pup (or you) if the grinder comes in contact with their skin. Although, it worked, it was a VERY tedious process. It would take me over an hour to do one pup. So, I decided to search for a better option, and came across this little gem. After reading the reviews I decided it was economical enough that if it didn't work, it was not a great loss. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this unit. I would HIGHLY recommend this product! It is AMAZING! I did all nails on all four paws on one of my pugs in less than 10 minutes! It was fast, powerful, easy to use - and was actually very quiet! I LOVE IT! I wish I made the switch sooner! It does not stop rotating when pressure is applied. The cord is long enough so you can find a chair or cozy spot to sit and do your pups nails. The only con is that the grinder end does not have a protective cover, so you have to be sure to control it so you don't make contact with your fur baby's paw pads or skin. I am afraid it might cause a friction burn at the very least. My 2 pugs are very good about not moving around, and just lay on their backs in my lap and let me grind away. As a bonus, this comes with its own carrying/storage case which is quite nice! Best find ever!!!!

Strong and effective. My dogs nails were out of control, and I was tired of the rechargeable dremels not being strong enough. I was able to file my dogs nails fast and without her nail heating up.

Andis is a brand I trust and I was not disappointed with this dremel. I personally prefer the corded dremels because there is never a worry that the battery will go out in the middle of grinding a dog's nails and the cord is long enough that issues are minimal. There are two speeds, although I've never actually needed the faster speed as the lower speed works really well for all sized dogs. It's a little louder than battery operated dremels, but not enough to make it an issue and none of the dogs I've worked on have cared about the noise. It's slim design means it's easy to grip and it's lightweight and balanced (more so than the battery operated dremels) so that its easy to maneuver and doesn't put undue strain on the hand or wrist. Definitely a value for the price (I'm a groomer so this dremel gets heavy use and it lasted for 5 years before the cord started having issues because I wasn't as careful with it as I could have been) and I would absolutely recommend this product and purchase it again!

So, I was VERY dissapointed when I received the package. Honestly, it looks like a knock off- very light feeling and the tips keep coming off mid session- no where on the dremmel does it say "Andis" After reading the reviews I thought I was purchasing a heavy duty set, but recieved anything but. I intentionally wanted a "plug-in" as opposed to a portable dremmel for faster motor speeds, but was not the case with the dremmel sent to me. Also, it is NOT quiet.When opening the case, nothing was secured or packaged and looked as though it had been used before... I even sent pieces that dont belong to the dremmel (or any product Im aware of.)Super dissapointed.

They work just as described gets the job done fast highly recommend is must have tool for dog & cat!!! Good comfort grip, good speed, attachment fit perfect 💪 ease to use🫡
