Very Pleased
I needed a nail kit to take care of my Mother's nails. She is aging and is becoming unable to take care of her own nails. I don't trust myself to use nippers and such on another person. After looking at a number of nail kits, I chose this one based on price, tools included, size and portablility (I liked that it was battery and I could use it anywhere.) I am very pleased with my purchase. It arrived quickly and does exactly what I needed it to do. It has plenty of power and we did her nails in no time and they looked really good. It's not a sexy little nail spa, but it is a perfect little nail kit. Now I'm going to get one for myself.

I am still using this original unit for my Mother's nail care and the second one that I bought for myself. I read some of the reviews about the power and I would say that the unit is designed to stop if you press too hard against the nail. It may take a little longer, but if you let the tool do the work it will limit the risk of burning yourself or someone else. I appreciate this feature, because I use it on another person. I follow the 3 second rule on my Mother and keep the tool moving, so I don't burn her. Also, it will slow down or stop more easily when the batteries need changing. With regular use of this kit we have returned her nails to healthy. I have used this kit once a month since my original review in 2008. It still works well and the tools have not worn down. When something does happen to this little kit, if it's still available I will buy another one.
