It would be great for that. I am a dog groomer and use it on all sizes of dogs. It has variable speed so you can use it ins slower speed . I usually dial it up to about. '4'. Good luck! I love this!

The nail gun would work, but the brads wouldn't be strong enough. Fences can take quite a battering and be subjected to large forces (wind, earthquake, people etc). I wouldn't use 18 guage brads for this. In fact I wouldn't use finishing nails either - framing nails would be the better option and they should be galvanised or stainless.

I don't think it has the capabilities to grind things into powders. I am almost 100% certain it cannot. I primarily use it for my dogs food and it can barely grind chicken bones which it is supposed to be able to do.

The rake is too big for 2 l b. yorkies. It is excellent on large dogs with thick, coarse hair..like german shepherds.

I destroyed this meat grinder making dog/cat food. It will grind small bones but it wouldn't last.

though the grinder worked great for elk, i don't think it is made for bone crushing ! in a few days my wife, and I ground 400 lbs. of elk i would invest in the higher end of the grinders......1000 - 1500 watts, and that size is still inexpensive !!

It depends on what you define as large. I have used it to do batches of ground meat that were upwards of 25-30 lbs and the grinder did a wonderful job for me and I can barely keep up with it. I also admit that I am an amateur and only do batches like this a few times a year.

I have not complaints and it fits my needs. My dogs do not exceed 30 pounds. The whole that the nail fits into is large enough for a dog of your size and I think it would work fine. However - if you wanted something more sturdy given that you have a bigger dog you may prefer the large. I have no issue with it from a sturdy standpoint with my smaller dogs.

The Giant FURminator with a 5" edge is listed as being for dogs over 90 lbs I use the large tool with a 4" edge for dogs over 50lbs. My biggest dog is 70 lbs and it does the job.

The nail drill/grinder is extremely underpowered. It cannot handle my miniature schnauzer 's nails.

I wouldn't, even though it probably could be used. This model of nailer drives 16 gauge wire nails, or finish nails. They have very small heads that would drive too far into the material. It would be better to use the construction grade nailer which drives nails with larger, flatter heads. The 8 penny equivalent nail should be used for sheathing like 1/2" OSB.

I used this on my chihuahua mixed breed and it's good battery wise for about 2 nails before it starts losing rpm's. I would not recommened this thing.

DITTO....I would not.....the RPM s (revolutions per minute), are different... the wheel would heat up...the grinder is way too fast

I'm not sure Carey? I was not pleased with it as a stand for a grinder! It is much too light for a medium sized grinder. I would have to bolt the stand to the floor to avoid tipping. Also the stand base is much too small for a normal sized bench grinder. It needs to have a larger base and be significantly heavier to be of any use. As far as I am concerned it is a toy.

The dog will be skittish as usual. Grinding its nails will not change the behavior except maybe to make it worse. Try de-sensitizing the dog to be more passive to having its paws handled before investing in a grinder. Try behavior modification techniques. My dog hates me doing her nails, but is too passive to resist.

James, this thing will need a lot of air to work effortlessly so without knowing the exact specs of your compressor, I'm guessing since you are a DIYer that it WILL NOT be up to the task. But I could be wrong... verify your compressor output, tank size, etc and compare with the requirements stated for the grinder. Good luck!

I love it!!! I bought it for pet photography. Nails have never been a problem but my nieces high heel did rip it a little.
