Small Swiss Pill Cutter

Good for really small pills, not so good on medium to large ones.

This Swiss Pill Cutter is a very precise tool ,the only way to split ;small pills accurately, and worth every penny of the price. The bad reviews are likely from people who have not learned the simple skill that is required for accurate splits. Here is the procedure for cutting small round pills accurately.My Instructions for a round pillPlace the pill in the smallest bed that has a little space left over.1. Hold the cutter open, in your left hand, at an angle of about 45° (the pivot will be low on the left).2. Place the pill into the pill bed with your right hand. (If the pill is scored align the split with the blades.) The pill should be balanced against the lowered end of the pill bed and the lower blade at the same time. When placed this way, the pill will will automatically be centered.3. Gently lower the upper blade onto the pill, trapping the pill in the centered position.4. Gently, but firmly press down the upper blade to complete the cut.The bad reviews have apparently caused this Swiss Pill Cutter company to go out of business. I hope the company comes back into business because without this splitter there is no way to accurately split a small pill.

I bought it to cut pills into quarters. I was willing to pay the high price vs this item to do that based on what I read. It was no better than the substantially cheaper products I had used previously. It is hard to position on the cutter and it doesn't cut each pill cleanly.

An instrument for making surgical-type cuts in expensive medications I've been using several off-the-shelf cheap "cutters" and became frustrated with uneven splits and bits and pieces covering the bottom of the plastic box.. A friend of mine said his Swiss Pill Cutter which he uses to cut "Daddy's Little Helper" pills was the best by far. The Small Swiss Pill Cutter I just received has the new high precision blade which makes perfect cuts. I realize the cost is more but I'm more than saving the difference in chards and pieces of pills I had to discard in the past. You get what you pay for.

I have to half 2.5 pimobendan.They have a hard, enamel like coating. They are also diamond shaped. This cutter didn’t work. One side crumbled and the other side was larger than half. It is a very expensive cutter, but had it worked It would be worth it. But I would like to receive a refund. Ps. I tried it quite a few times in all the different slots, in all possible directions.

I have been using this for over a year. Took a little while to figure the correct way to make precise splits but now it’s flawless. Hopefully I can buy the larger one as a just in case. The pill cutters I had prior got dull quickly but this one will last a lifetime.

Complete waste of money for me. Not sharp, difficult to align and balance pills. Gave up on it after a few tries. Maybe I'm missing something but just looking at it's design I think I should have known better, but I was swayed by some of the favorable reviews. Don't know if the positive reviews are from shills or from some remarkably dexterous users?

The perfect tool! It is so easy and reliable to use. It feels good inthe hand and nice to know it is American made. Came within 3 days withexcellent instructions. I could quarter 10mg Coumadin pills to 2.5mgpieces which made getting the 12.5 mg dose easy. I could also splitsmall 20mg Prednisone pills for hotspots on our 15 year old beloved dogwhich allowed me to spread out the timing of the dosage. I rested thecutting arm on the pill, centered it and pushed gently. Worked everytime. Highly recommend for all smaller pills.
