Will I ever know how good it is?
In order to use the Nail File ,batteries must be inserted. Since I long ago failed my Charles Atlas muscle building mail-order course, I haven't strength enough to open the case to put in the batteries required. The directions tell me to squeeze and pull. I have squeezed and pulled to no avail. I considered a hack-saw, but that wouldn't allow for closing the case. I believe that my strenght is near normal for my age, I have no trouble with tasks of my ordinary life. I have not tried pliers or other mechanical aids as they would maul the case, or worse. Hence, I cannot report on its functioning and my evaluation of it.

Not very well made - impossible to use
Could not use this. Well, it's pretty cheap compared to, say, the Dremel tools so I guess you get what you pay for. Battery compartment very difficult to open. Mechanism for tip is off center so tips don't rotate correctly, making it impossible to use accurately and safely.

Believe the bad reviews
Buy some emery boards, they work just as well as this product. Poorly made, case would not stay shut.

Had to toss it and get refund
Probably a good idea but too cheaply made; at least ours was.

Very dissapointed
Bought this and replacement tips. Put in brand new batteries and it just doesn't work. Would cost too much to send it back....so in the trash it goes.

ONLY LOOKS GOOD!
Couldn't get the cap off of it. The 2nd time I tried to use it, when I was trying to pull the cap off, the bottom part detached and the mechanics fell out. Tried to put it all back, but it now runs ALL THE TIME, even in the off position. I'm throwing it away.
Glad I bought it
I injured my toes few years ago and they
got thicker and I needed something to
get them down and filing them worked.
Nails had been hitting other toe which
hurt but not anymore. Thanks.
I would buy this again
Someone else helps me with using this because of health problems.
It is difficult to reach my feet since hip replacement.

Use on my husband's toes - makes it easy instead of hand filing.

Does exactly what she wants!
Got this for my wife who has thick nails (fungus) and it works perfectly for her. It is powerful enough to even out the nails and is very easy to use, She is very pleased I purchased this for her.

Good for both nails for hands and feet.
I use it for shaving down toe nails . Clippers are hard to use with thick toenails . Great for shaping finger nails . Glad I got this tool.

Slow but great on toes
Need to soften nails before using as it removes slowly. It is not well made but works great on my toenails. At 80 yrs old my toenails are difficult. Right after shower I do toenails and it beats cutting where I alway cut skin on one or two toes and that can get infected.

OK
This item is a little hard to hold in place. It wants to fly off to the side if not holding firmly. Seems to take a little time to actually file the nail. Regular fingernail file material or sandpaper like material would work better. I would recommend with a change in material. Otherwise it's a take a chance and make your own decision.
DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE
I bought this item hoping to be able to groom my toy nails. First hurdle was to even open the case. It tells you in the little booklet (several times) in order to remove the battery cover to STRONGLY press on the sides of the cover. Because of my arthritic hands I was not able to do that. Living in a large apartment building I can always find someone to open things for me. This was not that easy. Took a young person about 15 minutes to get the cover off. Second hurdle. After inserting 2 AA batteries the cover would not close. Directions say to match up the arrows (almost impossible to see the arrows (one tiny one on each side of the case. My hands were really aching by this time and I was about to return the item. Finally, a click and the case was closed. Third hurdle. You must be very careful with this - I slipped off the nail on one toe and made a small cut on the skin of the toe. For a diabetic, that could be serious. Since I was able to get the battery cover on, I will not return the item; but, I caution anyone thinking about buying it. You must have strong fingers and hands or have a friend or neighbor who does.
not so hot
the attachments fall off

Clumsy to operate
No real speed control and a rough filing head powered by what seemed like a series winding motor that easily loaded down which required a "light" operator touch which is just plain awkward.

" My Disappointment With Item"
I am totally disappointed with my purchase. I installed the batteries and proceeded to try to remove the clear top and the whole inside came out. To make things worse, when I pushed it back inside, it ran constantly with the on/off button off. I really had plans to use the item quite a lot.

After inserting the batteries the unit did not work. I used
I was looking forward to,using this product, so disappointed it arrived defective. I want a credit on my account. Very disappointed.
Please contact me regarding credit.
I will return the unit if I'm sent a return mailing label.
Thank you.
Poor Product
In trying to make something work that should have been simple, I ending up throwing the product in the garbage.
Poor quality
It should be AC not Battery. It stops spinning if you put any pressure on the spinning files. If it was AC, then it would probably have more spin to it.
I was disappointed. It looked like it was the answer to my problem. I wanted to purchase the step up item at almost twice the money but your sales person stated that they had a lot of complaints about that one also.
