The Pelcas 10-Speed Nail File with LCD is a $26.99 electric nail drill built for thick toenails, acrylics, and natural nails alike. It’s also small enough to work on a dog’s claws, which shows up more than once in the buyer reviews. I went through the full spec sheet and the customer feedback to see if it holds up past the marketing photos.
What it’s made of
The body is an aluminum battery housing shaped like a pen, at 6.5 by 1 inches and about 270 grams. It runs on a 3.7V/2000mAh battery, rated for roughly 5 hours of runtime on a 3-hour charge over USB-C. A ring of LED light sits at the top for visibility, and the LCD screen on the shaft shows speed level, remaining battery, and rotation direction at a glance.
Ten speed settings cover a wide range, from delicate shaping on natural nails up to grinding down thick or acrylic nails. The box includes 10 drill bits, 60 sanding bands in different grits, a clear dust shield, a cleaning brush, a USB-C cable, and a manual. It comes in white, grey, or purple.
What buyers are actually saying
The product sits at 5 out of 5 stars across its current reviews. Buyers specifically call out the cordless design as convenient for travel, the LED light as a genuinely useful touch for close-up work, and the range of speeds as enough for both delicate shaping and thicker nails. A few reviewers mention using it on their dog’s nails in addition to their own.
The review count here is still small, so treat the perfect score as an early, encouraging signal rather than a massive sample size. The recurring themes, portability, battery life, and comfortable grip, line up with what Pelcas advertises on the spec sheet.
How it compares
Inside Pelcas’s own nail care lineup, this is the only model with an LCD readout, which makes it easier to track battery life and speed than the brand’s simpler nail drills that skip the screen. For a wider look at how it stacks up against the rest of the catalog, and how to decide what to actually buy, see my Pelcas device buying guide.
Should you buy it
At $26.99, with a 10-speed range, an LCD screen, and a 1-year warranty backing it, this is an easy entry point into at-home nail care. It’s a reasonable pick if you want salon-style shaping without a salon appointment, or if you’re looking for a gentler tool for a pet’s thick nails.
Before you order, check my notes on buying from an authorized source and on keeping the motor and bits in good shape so the device lasts.
