We compared two rechargeable electric nail drills: the Makartt Nail Drill and the MelodySusie PC90G Rechargeable Nail Drill.
What we looked at
Motor speed, battery life, and price.
The verdict
If you want a faster 35,000 RPM motor with an LCD display and a 6-hour battery life, the Makartt is the higher-spec pick, at £49.99. If you would rather pay £35.00 less for a lightweight, 62g pen-style drill running up to 20,000 RPM, the MelodySusie is the value option, at £14.99.
A £49.99 nail drill running up to 35,000 RPM with an LCD display.
A £14.99 lightweight pen-style nail drill running up to 20,000 RPM.
