[nagdu] Nail clippers.

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

I got the Ped cure but has no good torque.  If you go with the grinder, get 
the one you plug into the wall.  Andy and Shubert

There are grinders that work very fast.  Tracy has one.  Probably your 
friend has the same grinder that I have, the Pedipaws.  That's probably the 
most popular nail grinder because they had a lot of commercials and are sold 
in all sorts of stores, not just pet stores.  It worked great when I first 
bought it.  It's just lost it's get up and go.  New batteries might help, 
but for the price of batteries, I am half way to buying a new and more 
powerful grinder.  So for now I use the clippers, do touch ups with the 
grinder and think about about buying a nicer grinder.
