Fantastic pill cutter. The best one I’ve found by far. A++.

This was needed for managing half-dose medications that are dispensed as one pill and it does the job in slicing pills into halves.

I have tried other pill cutters. This one is by far the best. If you have a large pill, this one never splinters the pill. Two others that I tried from Amazon, advertised as never splintering, did splinter! So glad I found this one!!!

Overall this is a pretty good item for my purposes, but there are pros and cons. I chose this cutter because I've been looking for one that doesn't have the safety guards - it's easy to accidentally get the piece of the pill trapped in the safety guard when you open it. This one works pretty well for my purposes in terms of being sharp and cutting cleanly. However, I don't need to cut them perfectly in half, and I know that's a deal breaker for a lot of folks. The pills I take are also very hard, so the cutter is able to cut cleanly through them, even all the way down into super small pieces. However, the lack of "padding" on the cutting surface (usually silicone) means that the pill does slide around a lot, and pieces even flip out onto the floor if you open it too fast. Even though I don't have to worry about it being cut perfectly in half, sometimes it slips to the point where only a tiny part of the edge gets shaved off. Ironically, even though it's slippery, it's very hard to turn the pill 90 degrees if you're trying to cut into quarters. Lastly, there are two compartments, but both are so small/narrow it's really hard to get the pieces out. You can turn it upside down to let them fall into your hand, but that means if you are using one of them for storage, those pills come out as well, creating a bit of a mess and more likely to spill the whole thing. This does the job and will work for the moment, but unfortunately it looks like I'm still on the hunt for one that works best for me (with a silicone surface, no blade guard, and no extra compartments.)

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This one works great - don't ever waste your money buying one that has protective blade gaurds, options for doing capsule-shaped, etc. Those are horrid and don't split well. This one is great, I can sit, watch TV and split and entire bottle easily and efficiently (rather than do it on a daily basis). This is the one to buy -simple, easy, good design and it works.

This pill cutter/splitter is the best. I've tried others that just crushed them instead. The compartments are great storage too.

The Cutter does not split pills evenly... It crushes the pill off-center, no matter how carefully I place the pill in the slot. This looks like the same pill cutter I bought years ago, but it's not. It crushes the pills and often cuts off center. I would not repurchase this. I did find a great pill cutter at CVS... It works great.

If the pills are flat this would probably work well. For pills that are not completely flat not so much. It doesn't cut pills with slight convex shape such as lisinopril evenly, which makes for unpredictable dosages halves. The plastic prongs do not hold the pills steady for their shape and the blade does not cut through cleanly because they seem to 'roll' slightly when the blade makes contact. Going slower didnt really help. I think if there was a slight concave dent where the pill sits it would cut much more evenly.

Works perfectly, you don't need to apply a load of pressure to split the pill. I've split two pills a small round one and a large round one and it split them with no problem. You slide the pill between the triangle and then simply close the lid and once you open it the pills split the two storage compartments are great as when I used to use a knife to split them I'd end up losing the other half. Well work the money.

This pill cutter is pretty good at what it does, though a part of me wishes the part that 'holds' the pill was made of rubber instead of hard plastic. While it hasn't been a big enough issue to give it lower stars, sometimes the pill does move slightly on its own accord, meaning it doesn't always cut in half the way you would want it. Once you're aware of this, you can slowly move the blade down so it puts some pressure and then complete the cut. So keep that in mind.

Muy bueno, sencillo pero no de mala calidad, tiene una navaja que hace que cortar las pastillas y/o comprimidos sea my sencillo ademas a muy buen precio.

Excellent pill splitter! Sturdy and good quality product. Many splitters have a plastic blade, but this one has a steel blade which works great.

Pour en avoir essayé plusieurs, je peux confirmer que celui ci est bien étudié et qu'il coupe à la perfection les médicaments de toute taille ce qui n'est pas le cas de beaucoup d'autres !
