It's small enough to be comfortable to handle. I have it charging for a full charge overnight and will give it a try tomorrow. Even if the dogs absoutely won't tolerate it, it has lots of accessories available and I can find uses for it around the house. I'll post after it has been dog tested!
Thank you for posting that! I never thought of Walmart. Should the dogs not like it you are only out $20 and, like you say, you can find other uses. I will stay tuned but think I may just go to Walmart tomorrow and pick one up for myself! Sometimes after I use the clippers on the dogs I file their nails with my human nail file. I do that so the edges are not so sharp. It is not fun to have a freshly clipped dog nail on your bare skin! I think since mine tolerate the nail file they might tolerate a dremel if it isn't too loud. Come to think of it, the sound shouldn't bother them because they have the grooming clippers buzzing over their bodies all the time!
