We started counting all the uses for this little dynamo, but we stopped at 967. We like it for delicate tasks and finer work because it isn't as powerful as its big brothers, so it's easier to control. It's light, extremely maneuverable, the switch is exactly where you want it and heck, it's just plain fun to use. It's perfect for jewelry, electronics, tiny woodworking crafts like dollhouse furniture and other intricate hobbies. It uses Dremel's wide array of bits, so there's virtually no limit to what you can do with this. Sure, there are store brands on the market for less, but Dremel is king when it comes to rotary tools, and we think they outdid themselves with this one.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 MY CHIHUAHUA'S NAILS NO LONGER CLICK CLACK!! August 2, 2008
I just bought this product about 3-4 weeks ago based on feedback that I saw here. I debated and debated and boy, I am I happy I got it. My chihuahua would let out bloodcurling screams when having his nails clipped by ANYONE. I went to two different vets in the animal clinic, Petsmart, Petco, the dog Grooming parlor - each time - he just screamed and screamed - and I mean scream, not yelp - in fact the vet said she had never heard a dog cry like that. Lo and behold I had to think of alternative options. With little nails (thank God they are not black - this would be a lot harder), which are white or almost clear, it was going to be a little easier. So I bought this in hopes that it would work. I read what some people say about introducing it to him slowly - and it worked. It is actually not very noisy at all. I left it on the floor, with some greats nearby, I also played around it and he and my other dogs got very curious. Finally, I sat him down, and gave him treats to distract while I touched each nail over and over on each paw without actually filing them down, slowly I did it in longer steps. Leaving the grinder on each nail a little bit longer (of course, not more than a few seconds, because it could burn!). Finally, now, if I want to trim his nails, I sit him down next to me on his back and while he eats treats I do each one - takes me all of 5-10 minutes tops! No crying, no screaming, no pulling paws away!! Just gotta stop to re-treat! I STRONGLY recommend others who are having this problem to get it - just make sure you introduce it to your dog slooowwwly!
The best option for trimming your pet's nails! August 2, 2008
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!
The only way to do a dog's nails! August 1, 2008
I have six chihuahuas and this is the only way to groom their nails. I have ordered a second Dremel Minimite for a backup and the price on Amazon is outstanding. A single charge lasts more than enough to do all six dogs and is easy to maneuver. When I first introduced the Dremel to my dogs, I did a tiny bit everyday for a week, mostly to get them used to it. Since they know I'm the boss, they submitted with very little objection. (The secret is to exude calm confidence. They don't know you haven't done this before!) Afterwards, I would reward them with their favorite treat: a tiny piece of chicken or turkey with cream cheese! Everyone gets a treat after every "manicure". (This keeps them hanging around for their turn.) Once I got their nails in line, it's done as maintainence about every two weeks and grinding makes it very quick. Now when they see me fixing the plate of treats, most of them will actually jump into my lap to be the first to have their nails done! I feel so much better knowing I have virtually eliminated the risk of injury to their tiny feet. I would absolutely recommend the Dremel Minimite, especially for small dogs/animals and Amazon always has the best prices and delivery.
Great Little Tool! July 31, 2008
Bought the Dremel to grind down the dogs' nails. Does a fantastic job -altough one dog would not let me do his nails - but that's not the Dremel's fault! :) I'm very happy with this purchase!
 Used for Dog nails July 30, 2008
I bought this product to do the nails of my 7 month old collie. Since I had snipped the quick the last time I used the clippers I was not a fan of that method. The place I use for doggie daycare uses the Dremel for nails so I thought I could try it. The product does work very well on the nails. I did find I had to put a more pressure than I thought I would have to in order to to get a good file. There really is no fear of hitting the quick w/ the Dremel. According to the guy at the daycare even if you do hit it, it's nothing like when you do w/ the clippers.
