    Can anyone recommend a reliable, portable nail drill with a reversible direction as I am left handed. Needs to be portable as I do home visits and work from a couple of different clinics.
    I have heard that I should be looking at ones with 30,000 RPM so that it is powerful enough, is that right?

    Any advice gratefully received.

    Thanks
    Katie

    The problem with most portable nail drills is that they have no dust extraction, which, even if you are wearing a mask, may cause severe lung problems in years to come. I learnt that from the SCP Brighton conference (H &S man Gordon Burrows talk) and an article in Podiatry Now.

    Put your own health first, not the patient. That is why I refuse to use a drill on DOMs.

    Can't seem to find a UK supplier for this and probably a bit out of my price range at the minute. Thanks anyway Katie

    I'm looking to buy a nail drill with a dust extractor. Any recommendations??? I live in Kelowna, BC Canada and don't know of many suppliers.
