Pill Cutter for Small or Large Pills, Multiple Pill Splitter (Gray)

This cheaper option worked better than the some of expensive options I tried. I think the key design feature that works for this model is that V shaped slot, which forces your pill to sit evenly. Some of the expensive have this parallel clam like structures that move away and closer. but they do not position your pill evenly, so the cuts are not even.

We have a Chihuahua and, due to her diminutive size, our vet is always giving us pills that need to be cut in half, or even quartered, for her to get the right dosage. I got tired of trying to cut them with a knife (and winding up with odd sizes, crumbled pills or, even worse, having the pill shoot out from under the knife into who knows where in the kitchen). I decided on this cutter because I noticed it has ridges to hold the pill in place and I liked that it was clear and nicely designed (plus I liked the color). Cutting a pill in half is fairly straightforward, but cutting it into quarters can be a bit more difficult. Once you get the pill into the right position, however, it does cut it fairly close with only a few uneven casualties. I have managed to cut a pill that was about 3mm by 7mm in size in half and a round pill of just 6mm into quarters, though they were not perfectly even. It doesn't matter much however because usually she ends up needing it twice a day so I am able to construct an entire dose from the different size parts (or I'm cutting it into tiny pieces to "hide" it better in her food (she's very clever and, if the pill is too big, she will find it and spit it out.) It's fairly sturdy, as far as plastic goes, and has a nice smooth action to the blade side. Once cut, the portions rarely fall into the square container on their own but usually require some "nudging" on my part with a finger or shake of the container. Mine even came with a nice, small metal container with screw on cap and ring for traveling. I'm so glad I took a chance and don't have to fight with knives and flying pills any more!

This is what I would consider an average pill cutter. It does what it is designed and advertised to do. It works pretty much as advertised. I think that one must consider both the size and the type of pill being cut. I have one pill that is round and chalky in nature and about 3/8th of an inch in diameter. Cutting them is about a 60 percent chance of doing the job right. The pills tend to break apart and sometimes into many bits along with generating a lot of powder. I am sure that any pill cutter is going to be challenged with this medication. Over all, I am satisfied with the pill cutter. Adding the pill holder to the package is a nice touch. These are being sold at this time for about $5 at my local pharmacy. I purchased several for travel purposes. So I am able to make good use of this pill "box" also. Depending on how many pills you are going to be cutting and the hardness of those pills, I see the blade being the weak point of this cutter. So far, my blade is doing the job. However, I expect as the blade becomes dull, the splitting of the pills will be more difficult. I suppose you replace the pill cutter rather than the blade when that happens. I don't know how you would replace the blade and I definitely have not seen an offer for spare blades. As a result, this pill cutter will have a somewhat limited life.

I bought this pill cutter back in 2022! Lasted 4yr .I used it almost every day. One of the hinges on left side broke. I was hopeful it was still available!! Very sharp indeed even now! It worked great on small and large pills, round and oblong pills too

It takes some practice to get any of these to work well, but this one is pretty good. Getting good at using these things can take a little while, so you should probably keep that in mind with the reviews. You have to make sure to line up exactly with the scoring on the tablet, or it might not cut straight through and/or you might get a little crushing (although that might be different on bigger pills). The first pill splitter I bought was rubberized in the cutting area. I was a little worried about this not having that, but the fact that this one tilts that area down, and is a smooth plastic surface, actually makes it a little easier to get the pill into position. Once you have it in position, it seems to stay there better with this one than my last, making this one easier to use. This one also has a support piece that runs straight down the middle, which you can see, and that makes it easier to align the pill scoring so it cuts right. Construction quality feels good, and it seems pretty well engineered. I like it better than my last. The downside is that the blade is exposed, with no sliding safety shield, so don't try something silly like keeping your fingers in there while cutting, and keep it away from kids. The blade is not as sharp as a real razor blade, but it seems to be sharp enough for the pills that I've tried. That does add some safety, since it won't cut you if you accidentally brush it. I don't know that there would be any real benefit to it being sharper.' I've only used the one other pill splitter, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I feel that this was a good buy. I do like it better than the last.

2nd one I've bought, works very well

I like the precision with which this pill cutter works. However, it is a little tricky to make sure that the pill remains steadily in place. The interface is slick plastic so the pill being cut can easily slip away from the blade leading to a erroneous cut This pill cutter is well made. (for the most part!). The worst thing about this pill cutter is the removable bottom to store cut pills. The problem is that this re-movable partition often times will just fall OFF the pill cutter! Not good if you have pills stored there! This needs to be rectified with a snap open hinge-plate or some thing similar. Also, perhaps apply a rubber surface or other material, in the v-shaped cutting area that would grip pills more firmly, to prevent them from slipping left or right..

Easy to use. Cuts great.

Very good value for the price paid

I don’t usually write reviews, but this product truly deserves one. I was initially skeptical, but after reading so many positive reviews, I decided to give it a try—especially since I urgently needed something reliable for accurate medication measurements. I’m really glad I did. This pill cutter works exactly as promised. Just place the pill in the holder, close the lid, and it slices it cleanly in half—no crumbling, no uneven pieces. It’s quick, sharp, and very precise, which is exactly what you need when it comes to medication. For the price, the quality is honestly impressive. If you’re hesitating, don’t—this is a simple, effective tool that does its job perfectly.

サプリのピルカット用に購入しました。大変便利です。

Muy buena compra, son cosas básicas que siempre debe tener uno en su casa, corta excelentemente bien las pastillas y tiene muy buena calidad en general

I had hoped that the design of this cutter would make it easier to cut tablets exactly in half but this is a complete disappointment. The blade is extremely sharp but not at all precise. Repeated attempts just ruined more tablets for me and as anyone can tell, medicines are expensive. To my utter shock, the item is not returnable and Amazon CS has not called me back even after I raised two requests. The seller has also not included the keychain pillbox in the package. Extremely disappointed on all counts 🙁
