Have tried a couple different varieties and this one is the best I've tried. Holds up very well. Have been using for years and it works as good as new.

Very pleased to have bought this pill cutter it works perfect it’s the right size and is very durable and I believe the price point is very good. Will definitely purchase again..

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 bought this pill cutter to cut 90 pills into fourths. Before I reachef the 20th pill, I had already encountered every problem that people complained about in these reviews.* The pill cutter stops opening completely, and if you want to open it fully, you have to push the little flexible plastic shield on the bottom up toward the device. However, even if you don't fix it, it doesn't make it any harder to cut pills or less accurate.* The pill cutter cuts unevenly, but only if you don't position the pill correctly (in orientation, or you don't push it securely into the triangle holder), or you're not using it on a hard flat surface. In other words, this is user error.* The blade does dull very quickly, but that doesn't affect its effectiveness or accuracy.* This pill cutter can crush your pills, but only if you're not using it on a hard flat surface.The only problem that I found that was slightly annoying, was that the cutter left pill dust all over the table underneath it, but it was a minor inconvenience.In each case, the pill cutter still did its job, and was significantly easier than cutting the pills with a knife.All you have to do is place it on a hard, flat surface, and make sure that you push the pill into the top of the triangle until it fits snugly. If you care about the pills being even, then make sure that you line it up evenly. And have a wet washcloth or something to clean up the pill dust afterwards.That's it. It's not perfect, but it's easy, and it works. :)

It splits pills! its easy to use. not much else to say? price was great. i seems to last a long time. arrived as described.

This pill cutter makes life easier. Works fantastic.

This pill cutter did not last it broke so I paid $6.95 and it broke. Terrible cutter. I want my money back!!

This is the second time purchasing. The blade on the original was dull after 6 years. It’s large enough for people with arthritis to hold and use. There is a moveable plastic guard that covers the blade when the top is open.
