What tool categories does DTK Nail Supply carry?

Electric drills and e-files, drill bits (carbide, ceramic, diamond), UV/LED nail lamps, files and buffers (80–240 grit), nail brushes (sable + synthetic), cuticle nippers, pushers, scissors, dust collectors, magnets for cat eye gel polish, and disposable salon supplies.

What's the difference between carbide, ceramic, and diamond drill bits?

Carbide is the workhorse for bulk acrylic and hard gel removal — produces chips not dust, autoclave-safe, lasts 3–6 months. Ceramic runs cooler and is gentler on natural nails — best for gel polish removal and surface smoothing, lasts 1–3 months. Diamond is the only material safe to use on natural nail and skin — used for cuticle work and detail smoothing.

What grit nail file do I need?

80 grit is very coarse — for bulk acrylic/dip removal only, not natural nails. 100 grit is for shaping and de-bulking acrylic. 180 grit is medium — breaks gel surface and shapes natural nail. 240 grit is fine — natural nail filing and shine removal for prep.

How should salons sanitize nail tools?

Three steps for any tool that contacts skin or breaks the surface: (1) scrub with soap and water using a stiff brush, (2) full immersion in Barbicide or EPA-registered disinfectant 10–15 minutes, (3) autoclave at 250°F / 121°C for 15–30 minutes. Skipping the autoclave step is a compliance and infection-control risk for cuticle nippers.
