Safety Shield Pill Cutter w/Magnifier

The first one I received was terrible. It just smashed the pill. I contacted amazon and they quickly sent me another EZ Dose pill cutter. The first one was purple and this one is blue. Don't know if that makes a difference or not. I had one of this type for many years and it basically still works but the pusher part finally broke when a friend jammed and forced it. It stayed sharp and cut fine after an infinite number of pills. The new one they sent works wonderful. The pusher helps to get the pill cut dead center. I've had it several weeks and cut pills daily and it is just wonderful. Tip it over and catch the pills in your hand and do what you want with it. I use one half and leave the other half in the cutter until I use it later in the day. If you want a wonderful pill cutter, get this one. Just don't be in such a hurry that you jam it and then pound it down. This will serve you for many years with a wonderful precision. This is a little medical device and should be handled gently.

Purchased this pill cutter to replace one just like it that had become dull. Unfortunately, the blade in these is not replaceable, so need to buy a whole new one when the sharpness deteriorates. Really like that there is a blade guard that prevents cut fingers and it cuts better than other styles we have tried. It would certainly help if more medicines were scored for cutting which would help pill cutter efficiency. If the new one works as long as the previous one (5 years), it will have been a great price, too even though the top does not always move as smoothly as it should.

Did you hear about the time NASA spent a million dollars on a pen that could write in space when the Russians just used a pencil? This contraption is exactly that kind of thing. It has one simple job, to cut pills in half. It fails. It has a fancy targeting mechanism for you to place the pill exactly in center. It also has a sliding cover that slides out of place just in time for the blade to chop the pill. Unfortunately, the blade is not in the center and the pills invariably end up getting chopped in a 70-30 or 60-40 ratio, not 50-50. I have to manually push the the pills slightly to the left to get it to cut them in half. Too much work. I'm having better results just splitting the pills using my fingers or my nails. Also, the safety cover slows the mechanism preventing the lid from closing smoothly. I can even touch the blade by closing the lid on my finger, so it's useless too. Back it goes.

I was a bit worried ordering this cutter, seeing so many reviews stating they had recieved either the actual Ezy Cut or some random one, so I was pleased to get the right one. This is one of the best pill cutters I have ever used. Admittedly, there are a couple ways you can improve your own results. You can't just toss the pill in and expect a perfect cut. My medication, as well as many others, needs exact dosing and we need a reliable cutter to ensure we are getting our proper dosing. Ezy Cut is the answer for me. First you have to push the little orange anchor shaped part against the pill to make sure it is snugly held in place. I see some reviews stating their pill ends up in the back corners of the cutter. The only time that happened to me was before I realized I needed to push the orange peice against the pill. Since doing that, my pill stays right where it is supposed to. Close the top just enough that the blade is just resting on top of the pill, then quickly snap snut. Closing it slowly just caused it to crumble when I tried it that way. If the pill is scored, when resting the blade on the pill, ensure the blade is perfectly, (and I do mean PERFECTLY,) lined up with the score. If it is not, upon cutting, the pill will cut unevenly and much of it will crumble. When properly lined up, i get a perfect cut. Again, this is only my experience, I do not wish to, nor am I attempting to, invalidate anyone else's. So yes, while this pill cutter does need to be used in a precise ways, when used correctly it works very well. The pill pictured was not scored, and as you can see, it was perfectly cut, no crumbles. My only other complaint is that a slight crack formed a few days ago in the front, and i have not had it long.. I cannot feel the crack on either side, which is odd, but hopefully it doesn't get worse. I definitely recommend this cutter over the dozens I have tried. However, the reason I am giving it 4 stars out of 5, is because for those with bad vision, disorders that cause their hands to shake, elderly who may not have assistance with their medication, lining up the pills may be very difficult for them. And really what makes this cutter syand out from others and what gets such optimal results requires secure and proper placement.

We've tried them all, this one is safe, effective, and cuts those hard-to-cut pills, large and small- safely, smoothly and evenly every time. Like anything else made from plastics they are not indestructible, but thankfully they fit in your hand well and dropsies are really infrequent and they live through a counter-level drop 99% of the time. In the past few years, we've had to replace only two of these, and we have four of them in use in our home and around a small animal rescue operation. They get a workout every day with all kinds of pills, and perform better than any other type we've tried in the past ten years. FIVE STARS Ezy Dose

The feature to line up oblong/football pills looks so promising. But when half of the time I end up with correctly divided pills and the other half with other fractions or broken fragments the promise isn't delivered. Cut quality: fair at best. Is it the guide that is slipping or the blade that is deflecting? I don't know. I've gone back to using a regular pill cutter and dealing with alignment manually.

Increiblemente facil de usar y demasiado practico en verdad creo que es algo que me ha cambiado la vida debido a que tengo que tomar de tratamiento continuo

Ne ho usati molti ma questo è eccellente

Muito bom

El pedido llegó antes de la fecha programada, me gustó porque puedes partir las pastillas a la mitad sin que se muevan, se pueden partir pastillas de diferentes tamaños hasta las pastillas más pequeñas que se batallan para partir, se parten sin moverse, si lo recomiendo.

You can only cut one pill/tablet at a time but it works well. I've split over 1500 tablets of all different vitamins, supplements, and medication. Cleaning is easy since it does get chalky after a while. Just let it air dry. At some point when the blade gets dull, I'll try to figure out how to replace it.

Works really well, cuts where you want it to and the shape holds the pill in the middle.
