Peticure dremels buyer beware

NOTE: This is a peticure NOT pedicure as title states!!!

I ordered a peticure dremel Oct of last year with a 2 year warrenty. I thought it was a good idea for young or small dogs, dogs w/ fear issues, and dogs w/ lots of fringe on feet that hair might wind up in a regular dremel. Knowing the amount of use it would get in the shop I ordered the "high power" one, 69.00 and approx 8 uses later the motor locked up, I sent it back and they sent me a new one which lasted a whopping 3 months and locked up again. Now mind you I dont use it on large nails nor do I use it exclusively, I have a Craftsman dremel I use most of the time.
I called the company and told them that I would like my money back she told me that I was past the 30 day return policy. I told her that the first lock up was past the 30 days and the second one had the same problem.
Long story short they refused to stand by their product so I am informing all groomers BEWARE of both peticure and pedipaws they are very, very weak in the motor ( any pressure slows motor ) and they cant with stand more than 8-12 dogs use before lock-up occurs. And you will not get your money back.

I realize that "Dremel" is the product name of a rotary filing tool, the term dremel is used when talking about filing nails w/ a rotary file. I personally use the craftsman Dremel.
The product Peticure is the one that I have issues w/ they are not strong enough to "do the job" of constant use which is what a groomer needs it for. This post is only to inform any groomer that may wish to try it out. For business needs a Dremel tool has the power to hold up for the needs of a groom shop.
As far as Peticure or Pedipaws for home use 1 or 2 small dogs (it will not handle heavy filing needed on large dogs) it is probably fine.
