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 Dremel PawControl 7760-PGK
Multi-dog households and owners of large breeds who need maximum grinding power and versatility
The Dremel PawControl 7760 is the most powerful grinder in this comparison — the variable speed range from 8,000 to 25,000 RPM means it handles everything from delicate puppy nails to rock-hard Great Dane claws. The EZ Twist nose cone and extensive Dremel accessory ecosystem make it the most versatile option. The trade-off is noise — this is the loudest grinder tested, which rules it out for anxiety-prone dogs.
Strengths
- Variable speed from 8,000 to 25,000 RPM handles everything from puppy nails to giant breed claws
- EZ Twist nose cone allows tool-free accessory changes — fastest grinding head swaps
- Longest battery life in this comparison — handles multiple dogs per charge
Limitations
- Loudest grinder tested — can cause anxiety in noise-sensitive dogs
- Most expensive grinder in this comparison at $50
- Larger body diameter may be uncomfortable for owners with small hands
