My podiatrist shaped my toenails with a Dremel!  Now I want one, not only for that function, but to remove rust on my outdoor furniture and fence hardware.  I'm thinking of the cordless 10.8 volt Lithium Ion model  Would that be a good purchase, or would the MicroPro be better?  Thanks for advice.

If you are out where you do not have power then the 10.8 Volt lithium Ion is your best buy But if power is no problem then the new XPR or the 300 would be the way to go

The new stylus would be better suited for your nails. Ergonomically contoured grip and cordless too.

my 2 cents......

Hi,

This is sort of a repeat of a post I made a few days ago.  I have some neuropathy in my feet, which means I can't feel much.  One danger of this is cutting flesh when trimming toe nails - which can lead to infection to amputation, etc.  Certainly don't want to go there. 

The podiatrist says get a dremel tool.  Ok.  Which one,  and what should be put in the socket. 

I assume (didn't get my $ worth from the doc as to details!!) that the proper tool will cut, or grind, the nail (shaping it as mentioned above) without damaging the skin around the nails.  Any experience or advice would be welcome.  Please do not worry about telling me too much!

Thanks, jep

I'd agree.  The Lithium Ion battery makes this a phenom, phono, phino, finom really fantastic buy.  the LI technology makes battery powered tools really viable for everyone.  It's a little more expensive than other battery's but absolutely well worth it.  They last longer - - PLUS - - if you put it in a drawer and don't come back to it for 5 or 6 months - - it's still got the same amount of charge as when you left it.  You can't say that about other battery powered tools.

Good luck

I forgot to mention the variable speed of the product and the quiet running sound.  both make it applicable for animals as well.  Our groomer uses it on all the dogs she does and swears by it.
