It’s a rare human who actually enjoys clipping a dog’s nails; and rarer still, the dog who enjoys it. Enter Dremel’s cordless groomer, a quiet, battery-powered rotary tool that gently grinds down your pet’s nails without cutting.
We happen to know a particular hound named Sophie who’s 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 ½-inch drum for larger dogs like Sophie as well as the smaller one. Other than that, it’s a tail-wagger. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

While in theory this Dremel should work great, in reality it does not. I have 4 Golden Retrievers so finding a better way to trim nails was very important to me. Not only does it take FOREVER to trim the nails with the Dremel, it also chews up batteries. I used 2 sets (4 each) just to trim my 4 dogs. I didn't even get the nails as short as I wanted to and ended up using a standard nail trimmer and sand paper. If this tool was electric, then I think it wouldn't be too bad. It did trim the nails, but at a very, very slow rate. It really was a waste of money and my time.

This item "works" but my dog does not like it - after a month of trying to get him used to it, he still won't let me file his nails with it. I will keep trying but I'm not optimistic.

My medium-sized dog was scared by the noise so I don't know how well it would have worked on him; for my larger dog's nails, it did not seem powerful enough to grind them down effectively. Even with the coarsest grinding wheel, it took a long time to do each nail and even then I was worried about the amount of "heat" building up from the friction. I regularly get her nails ground at the vet and no issues there, so perhaps the portable home-use variety is just an option for the small dogs with thinner nails.

My Boston Terrier, Maggie, used to run away from me when I got the nail clippers out. She would pull away and sometimes cause me to cut closer to the quick than I should. Now she lays in my arms while I file her nails. It doesn't hurt her and I don't have to worry about cutting them too close, or splitting them.

I love this product much better than the one on the commercial. It doesn't leave it with a sharp edge like the commercial kind, recommend to everyone with a dog or cat.
