Safe & Sound Pill & Tablet Cutter

Nice handy pill cutter - bought for my mother - who's in her 80's and struggles with fidgety things - but loves this - so good - this is her second one - the first one just wore out

Vet put my cat on a quarter tablet a day and this will be for the rest of its life. I tried using a knife with a tablet on a chopping board. It worked but not well as some quarters were not really quarters. So did research on pill cutters and this one came in cheapest at £2.99 from Amazon, next day free delivery. Another site had £2.49 but with a £3.45 postage. So Amazon got the business and true to their word it arrived the next day. Very simple to use. Raise the cutter open. Place pill in the V-shaped guide and gently close it and the pill is halved. I then took one half of the pill and with the round side against the V guide, making sure it was square level at the bottom of the pill because if not the next cut would not give quarters. If you have eyesight issues or problems with finger movement then it might be a bit fiddley and only ideal for you if you want to half a tablet. Anyway, I lined up the half tablet and brought the cutter together. Perfect cut. No force is needed and no crushed tablets. I would recommend this cutter to you.

Good little device, only tested it on one tablet so far, so can’t say how long it will last, but definitely worth the money compared to some out there! For only £2.99 it’s brilliant. Have arthritis in my fingers, so snapping the tablets have become harder for my fingers, so this handy device is exactly what I needed. Surprised it cut my tablet so evenly, given that the blade didn’t my feel too sharp when I gently touched it, wondering if it would do the job, but it took me by surprise, definitely a very even cut (compared to me snapping it with my hands😅). Would be better if it had somewhere to collect the tablet, in case the tablet slides out during use, and this would also allow for more tablets to be cut in one go. But can’t complain as it was cheap, arrived fast, and does the job!

I've had the other non-branded versions - and this is not a promotion for a brand - and they performed poorly in comparison, which other reviewers have said the same thing. I had very small tablets to cut and this cut them cleanly and exactly in half. But... It's not keen on the film coated ones. It goes through most of it except the other coated side and it stays on the cutting blade so I've had to gently push it to cut through. Once done it's still cut the tab in pretty much exact halves. And, unlike the non-branded ones, the tablets don't crumble. But, I've only used this on very small tablets so I can't comment on larger ones. But, for small ones, it works great.

The pill cutter was fine and did the job quite well. Not perfect halves, but the pills I needed cutting were small, round with no scoring on them, so did well enough. My biggest grievance is with Amazon themselves. I am getting mightily fed up with receiving items that have obviously been used and returned. Dirty, marked and in some cases scratched. Boxes battered and not nearly new. In this instance, the item was so inexpensive and I was desperate to use it, that I washed it and got on with it. In the past I have always returned such items, and Amazon have always accepted them, but I wish they wouldn’t send them out in the first place.

This pill cutter does exactly what it says it will do. It is great value for money. I was going to buy one from a chemist but I tried 3 chemists & none of them stocked them.

Simple to use and a very reasonable price. I have to cut both 5mg and 1 mg steroid tablets and this does it with ease without reducing the tablets to crumbs! You do not need to press down hard...be gentle and you'll get two perfect halves.With tablets that have a "cut line" I recommend lining up the cut line with the blade by using the edge off a knife

Does not cut the pills in half correctly and is no better than an old one i had. Far too expensive and now for some unknown reason not eligible for return. Shame on you Amazon i have been buying items for years and you are not prepared to refund me
