I'm generally surprised whenever a product meets or exceeds my expectations. This product exceeded them. The cutter is sturdy and it doesn't allow very many small pieces to escape (fly off in all directions) when you cut a pill. This was the main reason for which I bought this cutter, and I am very pleased with its performance in this respect.

The cutter works in the following way. There is a small peg sticking straight up from each of the four corners of the cutting surface. These pegs slide through corresponding holes in the clear plastic 'lid' that has the razor blade attached to its underside. As you push the pegs through the holes of the lid, the pill is cut as the lid closes down. In this way, pieces of the pill are, for the most part, kept from flying everywhere.

Compared to standard cutters, you have more leeway with regard to how you position the pill before you cut it, so it is easier to cut a pill precisely where you want to. The downside to this is that there is really nothing to hold the pill in place as you cut (except for the pressure you place on the blade itself), as there is with standard cutters.

As far as its general cutting ability, this cutter is about average. As is always the case, the cleanness of the cut will depend, to a significant degree, on the consistency and general constitution of the pill. As is standard, the blade used is a razor blade.

It appears that you can actually replace the razor blade of this cutter. I have not yet tried to find a replacement blade, but given that the blade used is a bit different in shape from what I would consider to be a 'standard' razor blade, I am not sure as to the actual availability of viable replacements.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well made, standard pill cutter, November 2, 2008

This pill cutter is sturdy and well made. Like most pill cutters, it will not necessarily cut the pill into perfect divisions. It is more apt to actually break the pill, abeit in a pattern that resembles cutting. Thus, the divisions of the pill will not be exactly the same size, nor will their cut edges be perfectly smooth.

I love the pill cutter - I have 11 dogs and 5 have allergies to the grasses and weeds around our house so they are on medication for this allergy - the pill cutter just makes it so much easier to split the pills for the smaller dogs. I've used this for my own pills also.

Thanks - this is great.
