I forgot to tell everyone that I figured out that I could still use the petit but with the cord plugged in, not that convenient but usable only on a table close to a plug outlet. The grinder is nice and quiet ,light weight and I love the guard over the sanding drum.Have been using it on Tia my tzu cross who has long hair on her paws (oops ...well her whole body for that matter ).She is so phobic about me doing anything to her nails, but with lots of cherios for treats and short little grinding sessions (every nite do a few nails ) she doesn't mind haveing her nails done !
This is definitely the best thing I have bought so far.Actually I give this grinder a
thumbs up .
