nail drill

Rotary filing device

A nail drill is a handheld rotary tool used in manicures and pedicures to shape, file, buff, and remove material from fingernails and toenails.

Professional nail technicians use them to prep nails for acrylics or gel extensions, remove old polish, and smooth rough edges.

Home versions are smaller and less powerful than salon equipment.
