This pill cutter does exactly what it is supposed to do. It cuts pills cleanly and accurately. It has an adjustable clamp that holds pills securely in place, which is very helpful. I used it to split 10 mg pills into 2.5 mg pieces, and it handled that easily and consistently without the pills sliding around. One downside is cleanup. Because the material is very grippy, pill dust tends to stick to it after cutting. You cannot just rinse it off quickly. It usually takes a bit of scrubbing to fully clean the residue. That said, the grip is also what makes it effective at holding pills steady, so it is a reasonable trade-off. Overall, it is simple, effective, and reliable for accurately cutting pills. Read more
So in terms of cutting pills directly in half, and multiple ones at that, this is perfect. You can line up 4/5 pills, tighten the sides so that they are held perfectly in place, and then it will cut right through them essentially perfectly: no crumbling or little pieces breaking off (if you cut it while it's loose though, this might happen). However, my issue arises afterwards, when I want to now cut those pills into quarters. When you are cutting circular pill that has already been cut in half, you're essentially cutting a half moon. This means that the pill needs to be lined up perfectly down the middle horizontally. It also DOES ADVERTISE AS CUTTING PILLS INTO 1/4, 1/8, ETC. To quote the product page directly: "【Easy to Use】Just place the pills in the cutter, adjust 2 bars that ensure the pills stay in place. Then you press the top down evenly—push in the center. It can cut your tablet/vitamin/supplement into 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 easily." The sides that you tighten to normally achieve this when the pill is hole are NOT suitable for this. As you tighten it, because the pill is not a perfect circle, you see the pill start to rotate. If you do not place this half pill PERFECTLY (which requires it to be offset a bit), it will line it up not down the middle, but instead into like a 1/3 and 2/3 split. So, this does NOT cut pills neatly into quarters (1/4). If your tablet was either rectangular or EXTREMELY LARGE, it probably would do it very well. But for normal pills, once you put that cut half into there and try and tighten it, it starts lining up poorly. The mechanism that makes this cutter ideal for cutting pills PERFECTLY IN HALF is also what makes it unsuitable for cutting pills into quarters. I love the machine for what it does, but just wish I had realized that based on its design before I bought it. I have tons of pills I have to split in half which this is GREAT FOR, but tons that I ALSO need to split into quarters which this is...less than ideal for. So, in short: this cutter is GREAT at splitting pills in half, whatever their shape or size, because of how you can tighten the sides in a vice like way. However, what makes it perfect for that almost makes it unsuitable for cutting pills into bits smaller than halves. So I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH FOR SPLITTING PILLS IN HALF, ESPECIALLY MULTIPLE PILLS. However, if you are like me and need to subsequently split some of those up into quarters, it is not very suitable for that. Great product, great design for what it does, I just wish I HAD REALIZED how it would be more difficult to use it to cut circles into quarters instead of halves. It doesn't say it will specifically cut into quarters, but it does advertise I would give it 4.5/5 if I could. Read more
Best pill cutter ever. Especially for people that are elderly or have a challenging time cutting pills. Cuts precise. Read more
This is working perfectly to cut my senior dog’s round kibble. She lost her teeth, but still prefers dry kibble. I was cutting it by hand and that was a chore and painful. I was happy to read that another person used the pill cutter for dry dogfood. Read more
It crushes some pills when you're trying to cut in half and many do not cut evenly. Read more
Great pill cutter! This is a quality pill cutter that will adjust so that the pills are held securely during cutting! It’s small enough to carry with you if needed. The cuts with this cutter are cleaner than any other I have used/found. This is easy to use! It has an adjustment wheel on the side, you line up your pulls (it does several at a time), tighten the hold with the adjustment wheel, close the cutter lid firmly, open the lid and you’re set! This is a great design! It’s a wonderful value!! Highly recommended! Read more
