Review (5/5): WHOA!
This drill is POWERFUL!
And I mean that both in the sense of how fast and strong the drill is, as well as how long the battery pack lasts.
I have a rechargeable nail drill that I like, but it doesn't always work as fast or as long as I hope, so I was curious to see how this would compare.
Well, I was blown away.
This is like a rechargeable drill on steroids.
To be clear, there is still a wire connecting the drill to the power source/control panel.
While that cord is not a huge problem, it does handle differently than the rechargeable nail drills that are a single unit.
That being said, for me the trade off in power you get makes the two piece design well worth it.
One thing to consider before committing to this nail drill, which is AMAZING, is that as the saying goes, "With great power comes great responsibility".
Put another way, you need to be very careful when using this nail drill, particularly on the highest setting.
This drill can turn fast enough to: quickly heat up your nails, file right through acrylic and natural nail material, get away from you and damage the skin around your nail.
Basically, you need to respect the power of this drill when you are using it, particularly when you start out learning how to handle it.
Other things I really like about this drill:
- The remaining charge is digitally displayed on the battery portions, so you know exactly how much power you have let
- You select the power level with a dial; this allows you to adjust the rotation of your drill very precisely
- You get a wide range of attachments that cover almost anything you would want to do with your nail drill
- Charges with a standard USB cord, which is included (you need to provide an adapter or USB port)
- You change the nail bits by locking and unlocking them with a twist release; I find this is easier and makes for a more secure hold of the bits than the drill bits that rely on a simple push/pull mechanism
- Reverses direction quickly and easily
I definitely recommend this nail drill if you are in the market for one.
It is extremely powerful, has a broad range of speeds, allows you precision control of speed, has a long battery life, let's you know exactly how much charge is left, and comes with a great selection of accessories.
