Locking Pill Cutter

I have used a previous pill cutter from same company for 5 years, cutting 90 tablets in 30 days.It was time for a new one. This pill has a scored line in center & about 3/8" diameterIt usually cuts round pill exactly in half unless i get in a hurry. It even cuts a very small 1/8" diameter pill accurately.Good product.

VERY sturdy. I use this to cut my dogs large arthritis medication on a daily basis. Good price - far better than the drug store. I will probably replace my personal one with this in the future. There is a nice rubber liner in the area used for cutting that is something I've never had before and I think it's great. I highly recommend this pill cutter!

Worked great

I bought two of these thinking the first one must have been a fluke with quality control slipping, but I was wrong. This item is just really poor, poor quality. The first cutter’s safety broke within a month or less, and the cutter isn’t sharp at all leaving my pills crushed. I gave this product another chance. I purchased the exact same one again. But, the safety mechanism on the 2nd cutter broke within two weeks! Additionally, the cutter is off center and is worse at crushing the pill than the first one. It seemed to have a dull blade or it dulls out very quickly. I went to get a refund after the second one on Amazon and you have to call to get a refund bc it’s a medical item. IMO it’s not worth the time to purchase something that will break in 2 weeks, crush your medication, and then u have to jump through hoops on the phone getting a $7 refund. Not worth it.

I needed this for a specific medication that I'm trying to use less of by cutting the dosage in half. But the pills are small to begin with, so I needed a cutter.This works. Sometimes it seems like the halves aren't completely 50/50 but that's probably due to my alignment of these small pills versus the cutter itself. My next review might be for reading glasses ;-)This is a good value for the money, and seems durable enough to pay for itself many times over versus paying for half doses of my medication

Right from the start, the blade was fairly dull.

simply design very effective

I really like a couple of features of this particular pill cutter. It has a nice sharp blade and requires minimal pressure to cut tablets. The red "V" that holds the tablets is a rubbery material, so it really grips. The locking cover is great to keep small fingers away from the sharp blade. But I like it best because a week is 7 days and 4 x 2 halves is 8 halves. When I fill my weekly pill case I always have an extra half a tablet left over and it stays safely in the "tray" section in the cutter, rather than trying to put it back into the pill bottle and then trying to fish it out later.The only downside I've seen is that it doesn't work as well for small caplet shaped tablets as it does for round tablets, but that just means a few extra seconds of getting the pill lined up.This is the second one I've bought. I finally broke the little hook that holds it closed after a few years - it was my fault, not the cutter's. Unlike the other reviewer, I couldn't find this exact model at the drugstore, and I really wanted the locking one.
