Review (4/5): Basic nail drill. Plastic body with decent power/speeds. Good price/value.
This nail drill has a plastic body, which contributes to it's light weight. I was actually surprised by how light the drill felt in my hand. Not that other drills, including metal bodied versions, are overly heavy, but this one has to be one of the lightest nail drills that I've handled.
This product does have the usb power cord with a control 'box'. The control box has a switch for off, and forward/reverse and a dial to adjust the speed of the drill. This seems to be the current control system for most nail drills. So, if you've used other recent nail drills, you'll be right at home with this unit.
Ease of operation and handling makes this a desirable nail drill for beginners and more advanced users. In fact, intermediate and advanced users might like this in their resource kits, due to it low weight and competent performance.
The company does warn about overheating. It suggests that operating sessions should be limited to within 20 minutes. Then let it cool down before resuming operation. This should not alarm potential customers. This caveat is often issued by other nail drill products. Common sense will let you know when the handle feels hot. And, in general, don't leave the drill running unnecessarily. If you're going to not use the drill, power it off. This will allow it to cool down, and prolong the life of the motor. Also, if for some reason you need to reverse the direction of the drill rotation, let it full stop and 'rest' for a few seconds, before revving up in the opposite rotation direction. This is true of power drills, too. A sudden change of direction could damage a motor.
While it comes with a usb power cord, a usb power plug is not included. This is disappointing. I do not advise using the drill close to a laptop or computer. You don't want errant dust to have a chance to enter these devices. Instead, use the usb power plugs that are used to charge cell phones. At this point, many people have spare usb plugs of this sort.
Included with this drill are 2 cases with various drill bits, and sanding belts. They are generic, but decent quality.
This product has the feel of a basic nail drill set. It is very reasonably priced for it's market niche. I think they've minimized the extra accessories to contain costs.
Attached are photos to show real world images of the product, with a ruler for size reference. The nail drill has a nice piano black finish.
The nail drill is a competent performer. It's great for packing into a travel kit, due to it's weight and effectiveness.
It earns a solid 4 star rating, with a moderately high level recommendation.
