Fullicon Accurate Pill Cutter for Small or Large Pills, Sharp Blade, Grey

I wrote this to help other patients who need to cut small pills. I am not affiliated with any company, and didn't receive any freebies. Prices from cheapest to most expensive [correct on Amazon in April 2023]: Ezy Dose Pill Cutter and Splitter with Dispenser, $2.49 Apex Deluxe Pill Splitter, $4.50 Auvon Scissors-Shaped Pill Cutter, Sharp Blade Pill Splitter, $5.99 Fullicon Pill Cutter for Small or Large Pills, $9.99 Equadose Pill Cutter V2, $17.95 Equal Split Pill Splitter, Double Blades, $20.82 I have been looking for a pill cutter/pill splitter for small pills that measure 0.25 inch across in diameter. I need to split them into quarters. Please note that for all pill cutters, it's best to press slowly to get a more accurate cut. In order of best to worst: Fullicon Pill Cutter for Small or Large Pills, 5 stars My first choice: I highly recommend for accurate cutting of small pills. Pros: Highly accurate, because there's an insert for every shape of pill. The pill-shaped inserts mean that the pill cannot slip, so it removes user error. Affordable Cons: Flimsy Plastic Single blade design gives a tiny amount of powder. If they could redesign this with a double blade, it would be amazing! I'd also like inserts shaped like half a pill, as it would be super accurate. Equal Split Pill Splitter, Double Blades, 5 stars My joint first choice: I highly recommend for accurate cutting of small pills. Pros: Easy to position pill Gives an accurate cut because it has 2 blades Produces almost no powder Simple, elegant design Highly durable metal construction Cons: Prone to user error I'd like to see the base plate have vertical markings to aid the user in placing the pill accurately. Once placed, the cut is accurate. Please note that you place the pill flat, not on its rounded end. The advantage is that you can see clearly where the cut will be, and it's more accurate. When I tried to place a pill upright, balanced on its curved end, although the cut is a shorter distance, it was less accurate. Equadose Pill Cutter V2: 4 stars I have used this for a long time, recommended. Pros: Double blade gives very accurate cuts Safe, retractable blade Creates clean halves No powder or crushing Cons: Flimsy plastic When cutting a small pill into quarters, it's hard to position a half pill, and is occasionally prone to inaccuracy and slipping. Auvon Scissors-Shaped Pill Cutter: 3 stars for small pills Pros: Durable, sturdy design Inexpensive Cuts accurately Almost no powder or crushing Cons: With small pills, it's hard to see exactly where the cut will happen. And, being scissors, the blades don't meet in the middle, they slide past each other, so I didn't get a perfect cut. This design is prone to user error. I would rate it more highly with large pills, but it didn't get the job done for small pills. Ezy Dose Pill Cutter: 1 star Not recommended Cons: Flimsy plastic Only one blade Inaccurate Crushes pills Apex Deluxe Pill Splitter: 1 star Not recommended Cons: Flimsy plastic Only one blade Inaccurate Crushes pills

Got this a few years back. Have not had any problems with it. The holding pads work great, as long as you put them in right. If you have a pill that is too large for any of the holders, just remove them and use the tray. Still works great. Really love the fact that the blade is completely secured behind a cover. Can't get cut. I have been cut on cheaper ones and that's not fun!

The silicone stabilizer pieces are the key difference in this unit vs others. It does a pretty good job of keeping it in place and cutting the pill as needed. Sometimes not a clean 50% cut as the blade doesn’t 100% match the open line. This is kinda a slow process but worthwhile if you are needing more precision of cuts esp for expensive or powerful meds where a little bit off of optimum cut matters. This is not a unit to quickly slam out a whole bunch of pills. With this unit I have less fragmenting/little pieces crunch off. I don’t recall now if there are considerably more expensive options out there but I’m not willing to pay that as not doing a volume of cutting but 2pills a day if using that medication. Oh…this unit will take a bit of manual dexterity so if you have considerable issues with small pills and confined workspace of a small framed cutter this will be more challenging.

The pills I have to cut in half (and occasionally quarters) are very small, powdery, and honestly the most frustrating things on the planet. I'm allowed absolutely no extras of them, so every time I accidentally pulverize a pill, I have to compensate by shorting myself a dose later on in the month when I run low. Traditional pill cutters from the store were causing this to happen at least 40% of the time, which made pill cutting a nail-biting nightmare every time. The first two dozen or so cuts of this are absolutely beautiful. As the blade begins to wear, you'll get a little more fraying, but that's to be expected. There's still a margin of human error in play too where you can press too hard or too softly, center it in the mold incorrectly, or just otherwise have the planets line up wrong -- but overall, this is BY FAR the most effective and least frustrating pill cutter I've ever used in my life. They give you a ton of different size molds for different sized pills and also throw in several extra little containers to hold those molds AND the cut pills, which I thought was a kind touch. The pressure on either side of the pill ensures that even if you get some crumbling, it's kept very minimal. Overwhelmingly the cuts are clean and my pills are perfectly halved, no crumbling or fraying, a good 90% of the time. That is much, much, much better than my old 40% success rate. There are a lot of pill cutters out there that will do the job, but honestly this is the one I find myself preferring over all the others. It's a great product and if I'm going to be honest, the first time I used it and it cut my pill in half perfectly twelve times in a row, I actually teared up a little. After years of frustration trying to deal with crappy pill cutters, this is a breath of fresh air. Do yourself a favor and snag it.

Total failure. Round pill that comes with a score embossed into it. I inserted the triangular silicone pad of this cutter as the instructions say to do. I put the score parallel to the blade on this cutter. The mess shown in the photo was the result. Save your money.

It started out great but after a relatively short time, the pill holder loosened & pills don't cut cleanly or in exact half without some manipulating. The rubber pill holder should be thicker & stronger.

My cat needs his medication cut into quarters - this is the ONLY cutter that works and doesn’t smash them. It takes a few times to get used to but works like a charm.

This is a really thoughtful and well-designed product. I'm impressed. It comes with everything you need—the pill splitter plus multiple inserts to match your pill size and even a small storage box for the inserts and another for the pills themselves. It also comes with a very well-laid out mini instruction booklet, where I learned that the back of the pill splitter is openable and designed that way so you can easily clean out any pill dust afterwards. Very thoughtful, like I said. Not there is much dust after. It cuts really cleanly and I can finally get equal halves for pain meds I take for migraines. Important that they are even! And now they are. Glad I kept looking. I've used these successfully on small tablets and wax troches so far. I ordered a separate one for the troches since I didn't want to get wax on the blade cutting the tablets. Got a back-up, too. Don't want to be without them. Very happy with this very effective device.

Good

Ein sehr gutes Teil schneidet 100 %

The pill cutter is of good quality. With shaped pill cutter set and also storage box

Ce coupe comprimé est juste génial, je devais prendre 1/4 d'un comprimé non sécable, avec un couteau s'était impossible, mais cet appareil est magique,je le conseille

C'est le meilleur coupe-pilules que j'ai jamais utilisé ! Les petits triangles de silicones fonctionnent à merveille pour maintenir la pilule en place. La lame est bien affutée et fait une coupe très nette. Il y a assez de formes et de grandeurs pour tous les types de comprimés.
