For ME I would not use them again... because I put my bits in the disinfectant and leave them there until the next client... or the end of the day... No it probably would work fine if I kept my bits dry or allowed them drying time in between. If it were now and I had them they would work fine...

I have used crock pots for dry towels. I place a small container of water in the pot, place a steamer/vent tray on top of that and place the dry towels on it. It worked for me when I had my booth rental business. Beats buying an expensive towel warmer...:) Katie Grimmett grimmett...@yahoo.com

If you use oil on the nail while you are e-filing, make sure you are using the "protects: from Atwood Industries to keep the oil form going up into the hand piece. This will cause the motor to gunk up and stop running as well. _www.atwoodindustries.net_ (http://www.atwoodindustries.net)
