 Pill Cutter as simple as it comes October 26, 2008
A very disappointing and simple plastic pill cutter.
There is nothing there except a blade and a triangular shape that is supposed to hold the pill (it doesn't).
It seems to cut round pills reasonably but other shapes slide and aren't held in place.
Using a simple razor blade will do a better job.
good--as far as it goes, that is... February 24, 2008

This pill cutter by Duro-Med is a mixed bag. While it splits smaller circular pills very well; it doesn't do quite as good a job on larger, rectangular shaped "horse pills" or very large pills. I am really sorry to read that other reviewers had trouble with this pill cutter; but I can understand why.
I use this primarily for cutting smaller, rounded pills in half. For this purpose, this pill cutter is bound to do a very good job. On the other hand, large pills may be cumbersome to fit into that tiny wedge before you press down on the plastic top to cut the pill into two haves.
On the bright side, the plastic is well constructed and this pill cutter has lasted me a good while.
If you want a high quality pill splitter or a pill crusher, you will need to look elsewhere. I admit that this pill cutter is an entry level type of device.

Tends to crush the pill rather than cut it. Then it is hard to remove the pill as it becomes embedded in the mechanism.Pill Cutter
 Off-Center Cutter November 20, 2007

Don't bother buying this pill cutter if you want to cut the pill in equal parts. The blade on the cutter is off-center, so when you cut the pill you get pieces that are about one-third and two-thirds. Definitely not useful and it is going in the trash since it is not worth sending back to Amazon for a refund. If you need a pill cutter, look at Drugstore.com and they have one for about $4 that is properly aligned and will cut your pills in equal pieces. The Drugstore.com pill cutter has a guide in the center that the blade has to fit through to work, so you know it is always aligned properly. The Amazon pill cutter does not and is just a blade with no guide. I have to cut a pill into eight pieces for my cat, so I can attest to the pill cutter on Drugstore.com working as it should.
Poor quality ... May 6, 2007

I purchased this product and threw it away after the first cut. It did not cut the pill in half but rather in 1/3 and 2/3 pieces.
I have owned pill cutters for over 5 years and the current one that I have is getting dull. So I thought I should purchase a new one. Now, I learned my lesson. Buying a $5 product is easier to return and exchange at a pharmacy, than doing it online. The return postage alone will cost as much as the product.
I am sure some of these cutters are designed right and will cut the pills in half, but mine didn't ... so it's hit and miss with this product.
