Pelcas is a home beauty brand, and its 10-speed nail file with an LCD screen is a good way to see how it builds a product. The pen-shaped drill is cordless, shows its settings on a small display and ships with a full set of bits.
This is a research-based look. It draws on the brand’s published specs, its stated policies and the way the rest of its nail line is laid out. Nobody has run hands-on tests for this page, so read every figure as the brand’s own.
The short version: a compact, rechargeable nail file with a wide speed range, made for shaping and smoothing at home. It comes from a brand that publishes its own specs and policies, and some of its bigger marketing claims have not been checked by anyone outside the company.
What You Get in the Box
The kit is generous for a single pen. According to the brand’s spec sheet, the box holds:
- Drill bits: ten
- Sanding bands: sixty, spread across several grits
- Dust shield: a clear one
- Cleaning brush: for clearing dust from the bits
- Charging cable: USB-C
- Paperwork: a user manual
The pen itself comes in white, grey or purple. Replacement sanding bands are sold on their own, which helps once the first set wears out.
To see which colors and kits are listed, browse the Pelcas storefront on Amazon, which opens the brand’s page there.
Size, Build and Battery
The body is an aluminum housing for the battery, shaped like a pen. It measures 6.5 by 1 inches and weighs about 270 grams.
Power comes from a 3.7V, 2000mAh rechargeable battery. The brand quotes about 5 hours of runtime after a 3-hour charge, and the charging port is USB-C.
The diagram above is the brand’s own. It labels the dust shield, the bit, the LED light and the power display.
The Screen, the Light and Ten Speeds
The LCD on the shaft reports three things at a glance: the speed level, the battery that remains and the direction of rotation.
Within the Pelcas nail range, this is the only model with a readout like that. The brand’s simpler nail drills leave the screen out.
The top of the pen carries a ring of LED lights. The brand describes it as 360-degree lighting, there for visibility while you work.
The brand gives the file ten speed settings. It positions the low end for gentle shaping of natural nails and the high end for thick or acrylic nails.
The brand markets the file for natural and acrylic nails, thick toenails and pet nails. The pet claim is marketing language from the brand, not something this page can vouch for.
Who It Suits and Who Should Skip It
It suits someone who wants to shape nails at home and likes to see battery and speed while working. It also fits a person with thick toenails or acrylic nails, since the brand names both of those jobs.
The full kit means you can start without buying extras. Ten bits and sixty sanding bands arrive in the box.
Skip it if you would rather not have a screen. The brand’s 10-speed nail drill with LED light keeps the light and the speed range but drops the display.
Skip it too if gel polish removal and heavy acrylic work are your main jobs. The brand’s 8-in-1 cordless kit is built around those tasks and comes with a wider set of bits.
And if you want independent lab data, this page cannot offer it. It rests on spec sheets and published policies rather than testing, and the brand’s own quality claims have not been confirmed by an outside party.
The Brand and Its Nail Range
The brand’s own materials trace Pelcas to 2018 and place its beginnings in beauty equipment. It describes early work on design, prototypes and sample testing before a full retail range took shape. Nail drills were the first products, and microneedling pens, face tools, airbrush makeup kits and an ultrasonic cleaner came afterward.
Today Pelcas sells in two places: its own online store, and Amazon, where it trades as PELCAS Direct US, a presence the brand dates to 2021. Most of its Amazon orders are fulfilled by Amazon. In its marketing the brand stresses salon-quality results and a one-year warranty, and it also cites a large customer base and high sales volume. Nobody outside the company has confirmed those last two, so read them as marketing.
Pelcas lists three cordless nail drills built on similar hardware, with rechargeable batteries, swappable bits and sanding bands in several grits. The first two are easy to compare side by side.
| Detail | 10-Speed Nail File with LCD | 10-Speed Nail Drill with LED |
| Display | Speed, battery and rotation readout | None |
| Light | LED ring at the top | LED light |
| Speed range | Ten speeds | The same ten speeds |
| Aimed at | Natural nails, acrylics and thick toenails | Thick nails, acrylics and polishing for nail art |
The 8-in-1 cordless kit sits apart. The brand designed it for gel polish removal and acrylic shaping, and it packs more bit options than the single-purpose drills.
Picking comes down to what you want from the device. Choose the LCD model for information at a glance, the LED drill for the same core job in a plainer package, or the 8-in-1 kit for more attachments. To look over the range, browse the Pelcas storefront on Amazon, which opens the brand’s page there.
Care, Warranty and Returns
Dust. The kit includes a cleaning brush and a clear shield because nail dust settles in the bit grooves and fogs the shield. Brush the bits after a session and wipe the shield before it clouds. Clogged bits can dull sooner and put extra load on the motor.
Sanding bands. Expect to replace these long before the pen itself. Once a band has gone smooth, fit a fresh one instead of getting more sessions out of it.
Battery and storage. The pen runs on a 3.7V lithium cell. Leaving it on the charger for days at a time wears the cell faster than normal use and recharging, so unplug it once it is full. Before a stretch of several weeks without use, leave it partly charged rather than empty or topped off. A cabinet beside the shower is a poor storage spot, and the manual and box are worth keeping through the first year in case the warranty comes up.
The brand’s terms, as published:
- Trial period: 30 days, described as risk-free.
- What a return needs: the original box, every accessory, the manual, the charging cable and a pen in undamaged condition.
- What will not qualify: a device that was connected to an incompatible voltage or shows signs of misuse.
- Return shipping: paid by the buyer unless the return is for a quality fault.
- Warranty: one year, a replacement for quality problems. It runs alongside the trial and is aimed at manufacturing defects that appear after the trial ends.
Pelcas names its own website and its Amazon storefront (seller name PELCAS Direct US) as the places that carry the trial and the warranty. On Amazon, Amazon’s own return process applies as well, so read the terms shown at checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it be used on pet nails?
Pelcas lists pet nails among the uses it markets the file for, alongside human nails and thick toenails. No independent testing backs that claim up here, so treat it as marketing.
Is it meant for acrylic and gel nails?
According to the brand, the ten speeds run from light shaping of natural nails to acrylic or gel removal. The 8-in-1 kit is the model it builds around that heavier work.
How long does the battery last?
Roughly 5 hours per charge, according to the spec sheet, after about 3 hours on the cable. The cell is rated 2000mAh and the port is USB-C.
What colors does it come in?
White, grey and purple.
What does the warranty cover?
A replacement within one year for quality problems. The brand excludes damage caused by an incompatible voltage or by misuse.
The Verdict
On paper, this cordless nail file is a well-equipped starter device. The screen, the light, the ten speeds and the large accessory kit are real selling points, and USB-C charging plus a stated 1-year warranty round it out.
Keep the limits in view. The brand’s claims about sales volume and quality come from its own materials, and nothing here is hands-on testing. If you want a readout and a full kit in one pen, it is a sensible candidate. If you want a plainer drill, look at the LED model first.
When you are ready, browse the Pelcas storefront on Amazon, which opens the brand’s page there, and compare the devices listed.
