AVID POWER Cordless Rotary Tool 2.0 Ah 8V Recharge

Worked As Well as Dremel Drill
I am very pleased with this product. It was on the low-cost spectrum, and I expected it wouldn’t be as good as my drill… but it actually is. In fact, it worked better. I use it for trimming and thinning fungus thickened nails. For me, this is the only way to control them to keep them from growing in-grown or becoming too thick. They file down quite nicely. I have been slowly getting rid of the fungus, but when my drill died on me, I procrastinated in ordering another one. This one is so easily handled. It has plenty of power and anything you need comes with it. I totally sculpted my nails, flattening out the raised high ridges and drilling down the thickness. My toenails are so much better looking now, it’s hard to see that I have a problem at all. My toenails look totally normal to anyone not specifically holding a magnifying glass to my toes (whew, how creepy). No more pain, fungus is so easily treated (I use vinegar water to soak and treat with a silicone toe cover, wash, rinse, etc.). It’s impossible to treat the fungus with the thickness and hardness of the nails… trim both the ends and the surface and the treatment is absorbed 20 times better than leaving the nail thickened and trying to treat. I had to have my husband help me before. He loves this gadget because it is so handy, simplified to hold and manipulate. The power is very strong… no difference to my plug-in. To be honest, I don’t know how long the battery lasts, because it’s never stopped on me, yet. I’ve even used it successfully on my dog and cat nails. Being wireless, not overly heavy or large (easy to manipulate) helped more than I thought. All my fur babies have no problem now as it’s not as scary as the other plug-in that I was using. They seem much more receptive. They still don’t like it but are not totally freaked out and remain reasonably comfortable. Recommend.

Easy to use, when the button works
I’m a dog groomer. I loved this tool so much that I recommended it to another dog groomer. It works amazing for doing dog nails. Unfortunately, her tool quit working after 6 months. My tool is starting to go out after 1.5 years. I love everything about this except for the power button.The light is useful, the adjustable power settings help me file down different thicknesses of nails, it’s tough enough to not break after being dropped, it feels heavy enough in the hand, but not too heavy to cause hand fatigue. Once Avid Power fixes the power button issue, this is gonna be one of the best rotary tools on the market for groomers.

UPDATE THIS SELLER IS INCREDIBLE AND SO IS THIS PRODUCT
So my first review is below and this is the updated one as of 02/27/2020 the first tool died after a couple months of minimal use which left me thouroughly dissapointed so I reached out to the seller and low and behold they took care of business. They promptly sent out a new one and it is amazing! Works better than the first one and they did it all at no charge. I was thoughoughly impressed with how quickly and professionally it was handled. Very grateful that I reached out. This thing works really great has good power to it. Thank you very much for everything! Would love to do business again and will be checkiing out their store to see what else they sell.Pretty nifty little hand tool. Charges quick and lasts a while. Several speeds. Works great!Update: was in the middle of using this and it stopped so not a big deal I put it on the charger to let it recharge and when the light was green and it was all charged up i went to use it again and it didnt work at all. So the tool is completely dead now and I’m not sure if it’s just defective or what but I am incredibly disappointed.

UPDATED REVIEWI had written a review below. I also wrote to Avid Power on the situation. Avid Power responded almost immediately and state that the charger is a wide voltage charger and can handle voltages from 110 to 240 volts. I am impressed with their response time. Now I can charge the rotary tool and use it. Yay! Thank you Avid for your customer centricity.I also changed the rating from 1 to 5.—————————-I was very excited to receive the Avid Power Cordless Rotary Tool. I quickly unpacked it and read the instructions. The first task was to charge the tool. I was extremely disappointed when I found out that the power rating of the charger is 120 volts AC, 50 Hz. The power rating in Singapore is 220-240 volts 50 Hz. So what do I do? Can the charger handle the 240 volts or, do I return it? HELP!!

This rotary tool probably isn’t as good as a Dremel, but most of the time that doesn’t really matter. It’s more than enough for quick fixes, and a lot easier than dragging out and setting up my Mastercraft rotary tool.I like the bag, which opens so that you can easily access all of the contents and has semi-rigid walls for structure and protection. However, it would be nice if there was some elastic inside to hold the plastic accessory box. I might add some velcro strips to do that, or maybe 3D-print something to make better use of the space.The tool is sufficiently powerful. My only concern is that the button to lock the chuck in place (for attaching bits) looks and feels a lot like a power button. It would have been better if it wasn’t quite so prominent, and I might wrap a rubber band around it to prevent myself from absentmindedly pushing it while the tool is running. That might suck.I wish that this could be charged via USB instead of having its own proprietary AC adaptor. At least the adaptor is small and lightweight.Overall, this is a handy tool that offers decent value. Just keep in mind that an actual Dremel will be more versatile due to the various attachments they sell (which won’t fit onto this tool).
