When to Choose Millers Forge 767C Professional Large Nail Clipper
Owners of medium to large dogs who want the best clipper available regardless of safety features
The Millers Forge 767C is the best dog nail clipper in this comparison — period. It is the Wirecutter pick for good reason: the hardened steel blades deliver the cleanest, most precise cuts, the larger design handles thick nails with ease, and blade longevity is unmatched. No safety guard means this is for confident trimmers, but if you know what you are doing, nothing performs better.
Strengths
- Wirecutter top pick — the professional groomer standard for large breed nail trimming
- Larger blade opening and longer handles accommodate thick nails on large dogs
- Same professional-grade hardened steel as the 743C with exceptional edge retention
Limitations
- No safety guard or quick-stop guide — designed for experienced users
- Too large for small dog breeds — the 743C is better for dogs under 30 lbs
- Spring tension requires firm hand pressure that may be tiring for those with weak grip strength
When to Choose Casfuy N70 Dog Nail Grinder
Owners who want a versatile, affordable grinder with LED quick detection for dark nails
The Casfuy N70 offers the best feature set among budget grinders — six speed settings provide genuine versatility, and the LED light is a game-changer for dogs with dark nails where the quick is impossible to see. Build quality is solid for the price, though grinding efficiency on thick nails lags behind the more powerful Dremel PawControl. For most dogs, this is the best value grinder available.
Strengths
- Six speed settings let you match grinding power to nail thickness and dog sensitivity
- Built-in LED light illuminates the quick — invaluable for dark-nailed dogs
- USB-C rechargeable battery lasts through multiple grooming sessions
Limitations
- Noise level at higher speeds can startle sensitive dogs despite being quieter than Dremel
- Grinding drum is smaller than Dremel — takes longer on thick nails
- Replacement grinding bands are proprietary and less widely available than Dremel accessories
