This review is from: Duro-Med Pill Cutter (Health and Beauty)

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.

This review is from: Duro-Med Pill Cutter (Health and Beauty)

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.

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
