Apex Ultra Pill Cutter, Professional Medical Pill Splitter with Retracting Blade Guard, for Precise Cutting Small or Large Tablets, Vitamins, Blue/Green and Clear, 1 Count, Compact & Travel-Friendly

Great design where you can keep cut pills inside if you want to. Easy to use and works well. Great price!

I was looking for a pill cutter made in the US. Vast majority are not and hard to be sure, based on old reviews, unless the vendor explicitly states where it is made. This was one of them for which a couple of customers said "Made in USA" in their reviews, but those were in 2016-18. The price was suspiciously low, but I purchased it anyway. It is made in Mexico. However, as new it definitely worked better (cutting a 8-mm round tablet consistently in half, leaving just a speck of crumbles) than our old pill cutter from CVS (which actually crushed these tablets). Although I just started to use this cutter, I am giving 5 of 5 (with low cost is a bit of factor), but the seller didn't advertise that it is US made, so not stars taken for made in Mexico! I read that pill cutters need to be replacement more often than I thought. Pill cutters should be replaced when the blade no longer cuts cleanly, which often occurs every 3 to 6 months depending on usage (and some pills have intentionally harder coating), or roughly every 200 cuts. If the cutter is crushing or crumbling tablets rather than creating a clean, sharp split, the blade is dull and should be replaced.

Cuts clean and evenly. I’ve tried a few and I liked this one the most.

Just works. I tried for months using a metal dough cutter, knives, and a razor blade (freeform, not great) ending up with powder and pieces of pills. It would also take me longer to line up the pill, find the right straight-down angle, barricade the area from flying broken bits, and only get a few done at a time. This pill cutter is small, easy to use, and splits my pills evenly. Saves me time and haven't ended up with broken pieces or powder yet. Full context, my pills have an indented line down the middle and are made to be split.

So, I wanted to have a good pill cutter that I could use to halve my pills. (obviously) I gravitated toward this one because it has the little rubber finger gripper that would seem to make it easier to grip when cutting. "Cool!", I thought. It gets here, I'm excited to use it because I'm waiting to try to wean off of a medication and I'm anxious to get that going. You know? Anyway, I read the back of the package, because I'm a nerd like that, and I took it out. Seemed ok. The gripper was grippy, felt and looked a little strange. Smelled like it was flammable, but whatever. I put my pill in, lined it up, pushed in down..aaannnnd nothing. It didn't even score the pill. I thought maybe I was missing something. Was there some kind of blade cover? Well, there is a flimsy piece of plastic inside the cutter itself, I thought maybe that was the problem. I tried to remove it. Nope, it doesn't come off. Plus, I watched the mechanism at work, and the plastic slid under when you closed it. Pretty sure it's just there so you don't cut your fingers off when loading the pill. So, I tried again. And nothing. I re-adjusted the pill toward the middle of the cutter. I squeezed down as hard as I could and it finally cut the pill. But it cut it into a million pieces, mostly powdery pieces. Which sucked because then I had to take a pill that was basically like tasting BC powder times 50. So gross. I didn't want a crushed pill! In addition, the same rubber grip that is on the outside it on the inside where the pill sits. Which you'd think would just hold the pill better, but since it destroyed my pill into shreds, it basically ended up being a rubber grip full of powdery pill bits. Basically, the point of my story is this; don't purchase this. It's useless. Spend a few extra bucks and get a better one. Don't trust the grippy bits, they're a gimmick. Now I'm stuck with a piece of useless plastic. I don't even want a refund, I just want to forget this ever happened.

I was actually surprised that this works as good as it does. I use it to cut my dogs pills, which makes life a lot easier now. Decent quality

I have purchased three of these over the years, just for convenience to have pill cutters where I need them (in the kitchen, bath, etc.) The first two are still going strong, but the third one I recently purchase is very poor quality. Pills are not being cut clean through but are crumbling. I don't know if the latest one is a fluke, but I am very disappointed. I have missed the return window, so I am trashing it and looking for a new brand.

Excellent, precise pill cutter. Great quality and reliable Best pill cutter

does not cut into required half all the time.

Il prodotto è facile da usare e fa il suo dovere, è presente una protezione in plastica che aiuta a non affettarsi le mani come dei mona... Per chi è mona come me e ha provato a toglierla non serve... la pellicola di plastica si ritrae nel momento in cui chiudete il tagliapillole, quando è aperto non è possibile rimuoverla (per fortuna) quindi è sicuro da usare anche per gli anziani. Le pillole vengono tagiate con precisione e non vengono sgretolate malamente. Quindi direi che se avete delle pillole microscopiche da tagliare è l'ideale.

Es un magnífico cortador de pastillas lo busqué mucho ya ni en usa lo conseguí !!!!!!

Muito bom

Bueno, bonito y barato. Cortador de buena calidad (made in USA). Perfecto para cortar pastillas en 4 (en mi caso, Fincar 5 mg). Es muy fácil de usar, la pastilla se coloca en el centro (en la "V") y no se mueve por el recubrimiento de goma que trae. Además, es imposible cortarse por el sistema de protección de la cuchilla. Es verdad que hay que separar con los dedos la cubierta inferior de la pastilla una vez cortada, pero no supone ningún problema. Para partir la pastilla en dos, basta con colocarla en el punto indicado y bajar la cubierta superior del cortador. Así de fácil. Ahora, para partir las mitades en dos, al principio hay que tener un pelín de maña para colocarla correctamente en la "V", pero enseguida se acostumbra uno. Muy satisfecho. Actualización 10/01/2017: Efectivamente, como otros usuarios ya han señalado, el plástico protector que impide daños accidentales se ha terminado por romper. El cortador sigue funcionando perfectamente, aunque hay que llevar más cuidado para no cortarse con la cuchilla.
