Review: Perfect drill.. - Always trust this affordable nail drill, been using it for ove 10 years, every time mine dies on me, I order the same one, busy nail tech here since 1993...I've had all posible drills you can imagine, even Erica, and this are super!
Review: Quality for less - I have been doing my own nails for years but more recently in the past two years have become more serious with it, meaning I've invested more into it than just some nail polish colors. I stopped getting acrylics at the nail salon because of the cost but missed them terribly so decided to do them myself. One of these drills is completely necessary for getting the job done but I didn't want to spend $500 on a professional Kupa brand drill so I began researching and reading product reviews. I finally settled on this one because it had good reviews, wasn't "cheap" but also wasn't going to cost a fortune. Since I only do my own nails the machine will not be taxed the way a nail tech's drill would be. I've only used this machine twice so far but it is comfortable to hold, not too heavy, and performs smooth but with plenty of power. And I love the fact that it has the twist and lock chuck, and uses the standard size drill bit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where does foot pedal plug in or doesn't have one?**
A: This model does NOT have a foot pedal. I really thought that was going to be a problem for me, but it turned out that after a couple times using it I didn't miss the foot pedal at all.

**Q: Is the hand piece all metal, or is it just silver looking plastic?**
A: It’s an all metal closed casing. The whole efile is a really good, entry level, efile for nail techs. I’ve had mine for 6 years using it as a part time nail tech. Still going strong! I kept saying as soon as this one wears out that I would upgrade, but it just keeps on going!

**Q: Does this very hot? anyone experienced this warm to warmer to warm to uncomfortable warm to oh oh! hot?**
A: It does get warm after using after 30 minutes. I would not describe it as an uncomfortable warm, but I turn it off to cool down a bit before using it again.

**Q: This drill is vibration free ?**
A: The handpiece is really nice. There is absolutely no vibration in my handpiece. My hand doesn’t get tired holding it and it has a nice, slim design.  I did purchase a cheaper bit for it once and found very quickly that the bit was not concentric. I thought something had happened to my handpiece so I switched to one of my older Kupa bits and it ran smooth as silk.  I would say, don’t waste your money getting cheaper drill bits. Spend the money and get Kupa or legit medicool bits.  I did find that the bits available on thenailsuperstore.com are great quality as well. 
Hope this helps!

### ⭐ Shocked at what happened!
*by R***. on December 10, 2015*

Owned this drill for about a year and it already malfunctioned. Was doing my nails and all of a sudden the hand piece sped up really high on its own and broke my drill bit in half, leaving part of the shank stuck inside the hand piece. Luckily, it did not hit me in the eye causing injury, but shot off and hit a wall. I don't even use it that much or even on high speed.
