EQUADOSE Pill Cutter, Professional Medical Pill Splitter for Large, Small, and Tiny Pills, Double Stainless Steel Blades & Centering Device, Ideal for Cutting Tablets, Vitamins in Half or Quarter

Review items: EQUADOSE Pill Splitter with Precision Aluminum BladesEQUADOSE Pill Cutter V2I purchase these more than two months ago.I purchased both of these sister products from Equadose because I wanted to compare them. My pill are expensive (and important), so I wanted the best pill splitter I could find. I think reviewing these two together is wothwhile.Both styles work a bit better than the supermarket/pharmacy, typical pill splitter I used previously. In particular they both make less crumbs.I am splitting a smallish, flat ovoid pill that just fits in the Equadose Pill Cutter V2 stablilzing gripper at its tightest setting. I am pretty sure that different types of pills have varying densities and hardness, so crumb production can vary accordingly.Both of the Equadose pill splitter models work very well.My experience is that the Equadose Pill Splitter (the hinging model) hardly makes any crumbs. The V2 model did better with crumbs than my old pill cutter, but not as good as the hinging model.Regarding splitting my smallish, ovoid pills exactly in half, it is difficult to get an exact split with any pill splitter. Sometimes the alignment in the splitter is not as perfect as thought, and sometimes the pills simply shear imperfectly. It appears that all pill splitters do not "cut" the pills, but rather sort of crack them.Having said that, I prefer both Equadose splitter models to my previous splitter for accurate splitting. Both require fiddling (and good lighting) to optimize the alignment (as did my previous splitter). I think it is easier to get optimal split proportions with the Equadose Pill Splitter than with the V2 because with the former you can see exactly where the pincers are touching the pill. Still, it is a bit of a learning process.As mentioned by others, when splitting pills that have a fat side and a thinner side, in the Equadose Pill Splitter it is best to stand the pill on its thin side in the bite of the pincers so that the pincers are already as close together as possible.I am very satisfied with both Equadose models and am keeping them both. They are both well thought out products of good quality.

Two different meds....both needed halved. Could not break in half, cutting with knife made a mess, scissors worthless, and cutter with "V" shape for placing tiny pill was as bad as all the rest of ways I tried. But THIS cutter is PERFECT...cut tiny round, and oblong tablets in even halves with no problem. So worth the 20 bucks! ❤️

I recently switched my dog to the compounded version of Pimobendan, in an effort to try and save a little $. The new pills are tiny, just barely 5mm. , and my regular clam style pill splitter wasn’t doing a very good job. Decided to give this one a try, and it’s working out much better. I have to really take my time, and apply even pressure when I press down to cut the pill, but it’s worth the effort. Sometimes I still end up with a few crumbs, but I just use a pill pocket to pick them up. The name brand pills were quite a bit bigger, and even though they were flavored, I still had a hard time getting my dog to chew them up. Now he’s happy to get his tiny 1/2 pill treat twice a day!Also, because theses pills are so tiny, I can cut the pill pocket into 4ths, which also saves money.

I am going to repeat another verified purchaser's comments: "This device does a better job of cutting pills than any other device I've tried. That said, it is a cheaply constructed over-priced plastic piece of junk. But it is a remarkably effective piece of junk." All this is true. Over-priced. Cheaply made. But IT WORKS because of the top and bottom blades and the straight down cutting motion so the pill does not slip out of place as with traditional pill cutters.

This pill cutter works far better than any other pill cutter that I have used in the past. It's easy to position your pill or tablet on the cutting platform, then closing the lid which results in a clear and clean slicing of pill into two equal halves. I am very happy with this purchase, and I think you will like it, too.

I have been splitting a very small unscored tablet for years and usually get one half in one piece and the other half in slivers. With the Equidose it is actually splitting into 2 pieces (at least for the first week supply I did). Also, very easy to use!

This works amazing. Cuts perfect EVERYTIME. The little pills I have to cut have score lines on them. I have to line that up with the cutter or it may not be perfect. But oh so worth it.

Pill cutting is a pain, was hoping for an easier and better one. Not bad, it works for half cuts but quarter cuts are the same with the old one I had.
