    My wife had her finger nail grinder break and it turned out to be the power adapter. It was an obscure 9.6V. guess who had it in my box.

    She still complains about my box, but that night she complained a little less.

      Voltage fluctuates. You could put 9v into it and it will be just fine. Hell you can probably put 12v into it and it will be fine. I have a switch at work that only exists to split one ethernet cable into two, and it’s rated for either 5 or 9v, but I’m using a 12v power supply on it and it’s just fine because it’s power conversion is rated for well over that (I think 16v max).

      Disclaimer: don’t blindly put higher voltage into a device rated for a much lower voltage. 9v devices will usually tolerate 12v, but not all.

        It’s like a grinder, but for fingernails

          Do you wear eye protection when using it?

            You can save on that by just using pre-ground!

        She uses this demenel looking grinding tool to remove gel nail. She likes doing pedicures herself.
