Maxim Pro nail drill

[Lady_of_Pain]

I was looking on Ebay the other day, and I saw a "Maxim Pro 4-in-1 nail drill." The buy it now price is for $69.99 US, which is extremely cheap. Here is a link to the item, if anyone wants to check it out.

Has anyone heard anything about these drills, or has anyone tried them? It is an extremely cheap price for a drill, but I am just starting out and am looking for something reasonably priced but still of good quality. I have tried to research these drills but haven't found anything on the internet.

Of course I will be properly trained in the use of a drill before I attempt to use one.

Let me know what you think of this drill. I am sceptical.........

I actually e-mailed the seller and asked a couple of questions, and this was his reply:

well they seem to be great value. no good for the u.k though, wrong voltage.
one thing to consider though might be the speed, its variable between 20ooo and 32ooo which is a bit high. its recomended to use a speed of around 15ooo on nails so it could be tricky for a beginner to use it without causing problems

I thought it was variable between 2,000 and 35,000
