Safe & Sound Pill & Tablet Cutter

Really useful, great quality and very accurate.

Vet put my cat on a quarter tablet a day and this will be for the rest of its life. I tried using a knife with a tablet on a chopping board. It worked but not well as some quarters were not really quarters. So did research on pill cutters and this one came in cheapest at £2.99 from Amazon, next day free delivery. Another site had £2.49 but with a £3.45 postage. So Amazon got the business and true to their word it arrived the next day. Very simple to use. Raise the cutter open. Place pill in the V-shaped guide and gently close it and the pill is halved. I then took one half of the pill and with the round side against the V guide, making sure it was square level at the bottom of the pill because if not the next cut would not give quarters. If you have eyesight issues or problems with finger movement then it might be a bit fiddley and only ideal for you if you want to half a tablet. Anyway, I lined up the half tablet and brought the cutter together. Perfect cut. No force is needed and no crushed tablets. I would recommend this cutter to you.

Went for a mid range price and it works fine. Nice sharp blade. Neat cuts.

Wow fantastic little tool. My cat has a brain tumour and needs her pills halved, I’ve been struggling to break these and was advised by the vets to invest in one of these tools. As it’s Xmas and money a little tight I went in search for the cheapest one I could find. To my surprise this was the cheapest and I’m so happy, it’s so easy to use and I decided to do every tablet, that’s two months worth. Every tablet broke into two pieces so this tool works 100%. Don’t waste money on the more expensive one this one is brilliant

I've had the other non-branded versions - and this is not a promotion for a brand - and they performed poorly in comparison, which other reviewers have said the same thing. I had very small tablets to cut and this cut them cleanly and exactly in half. But... It's not keen on the film coated ones. It goes through most of it except the other coated side and it stays on the cutting blade so I've had to gently push it to cut through. Once done it's still cut the tab in pretty much exact halves. And, unlike the non-branded ones, the tablets don't crumble. But, I've only used this on very small tablets so I can't comment on larger ones. But, for small ones, it works great.
