How long does the motor last on something like that? Is it a smart investment, or will i have to buy one every year?

I found a awesome Dremel at one of those small mom and pop pet stores in our area. It is quiet and very easy to use. These are made to sand down the nails. Not for cutting them. The dremmel I got is rechargeable, came with extra little sanders too. This is a regular sized one, and it was only $20.00. Suzi has had her nails done by the groomer, and that is what they use. But, when I tried to use the new Dremel on her at home, on our groomer table she freaked out. I do not know what her problelm was, she was not having it. Now, my Shih Tzu was more of a concern because her nails got so long one was growing into her paw, and this new groomer told me if she could not trim that nail then she needed to be seen by the vet. The groomer was able to trim her nails, safely, thank goodness. So when I founf this Dremel , I used it on Miely, and she was really easy.
Using a Dremel you can see it acctually sanding the nail , it is pretty cool.
