Summary: "I'm not a pill popper"

I'm not a pill popper, but the 3 or 4 times I used this, it worked perfectly. Seems well designed and robust.

Summary: "Infinitely better than my last one."

It doesn't smash the softer Armour Thyroid pills like the last splitter I tried. I'll go to 5 stars when they come up with one that makes it easier to deal with the tiny pills and pieces.

Summary: "terrible!"

my old pill splitter lasted years but finally the blade was not so sharp so i ordered this one. big mistake, the plastic cover that comes over the blade (so you don't cut youself? who would?) broke after about 2 weeks of use, i had to pull it out and it still doesn't work well, i have to really slam the lid in order for the pill to split into to neat halfs, and the rubber bottom prevents me from putting the pill in easily. i really hate this pill splitter. i am going to look for a new one, and throw this one away. it is a piece of junk.

Summary: "Handy device"

I need to split my allergy pills that I take daily - find that taking half at a time maintains effectiveness but greatly diminishes side effects. But, this means I have to split a whole bunch of rather small, oblong pills. I got tired of using a kitchen knife, and thought I'd give this a shot.

Great little device. Splits pills easily, and there's a receptacle that holds the halves. I can split a 30 day supply in much, much less time that using a knife, and they are all cut evenly and cleanly.

My only complaint is that the pill holding area is covered with a non-slip pad. Sounds like a good idea, but it also makes it difficult at times to position the pill properly, especially the small ones. They stick to the covering and maneuvering them into the correct position can sometimes be frustrating.

The build quality is so-so - I don't expect this is something that will last for years and years. But, a decent value for the money, and a very handy device to have.
