ALLEX Pill Cutter Splitter Scissors for Large and Thick Pills, Japanese Stainless Steel Blade, Professional Tablet Cutter Scissors, Made in JAPAN

These things are amazing! Real precision quality in the materials (high carbon stainless steel) and the manufacture (super sharp, perfect cutting edge - no burs, consistent angle from one end to the other, silky smooth operation - no wiggle at the hinge). The steel even feels smooth as silk from the powder coating. Obviously made with great care, one at a time like they say. Absolutely worth the price. The only thing, you need to really take your time to get things lined up properly before you slowly and gently chop, esp. if there are no score marks. Put on the strong glasses to see what you’re doing. I have to cut a 2.5mg tablet (tiny size) of Amlodipine into quarters for our 18.5 year old cat. No score marks or anything on the pill. I tried 3 box type cutters, horrible results – a lot of bits and powder. You can see all the powder these things made in the picture. To get an even split I don't look down on the cutters from the top, I look from the front of the cutters. I can get a better view by comparing the edge of the pill with the outer edge of the cutting blade. Thank you! Postscript for 3rd photo, note the pill is at an angle and not perpendicular to the cutting edge, this makes a difference. Not only try to get the pill even left/right, but also up/down. You just need to take your time, esp. for small pills. They will cut just how you have the pill lined up.

I was a bit surprised but they lived up to every positive review I’ve read. I have a dog who takes a tiny pill which is similar to one I take. I used a standard pill cutter the vet gave me. The vet one doesn’t work that well; I’d leave the cut pills in the plastic case,, It was confusing and the pill splitter made a mess of the smallpills. I read the reviews of this splitter - and yes, it is very very good. The tiny pills do not crumble but are split beautifully!

In the Amazon post, reviews for scissors cutting small pills and large pills are both featured. When buying, you need to choose the scissors for the size of pill you will cut and select the color of the scissor handles. I initially thought the listing was just for small scissors, but somehow had reviews for both sizes. After measuring my pill, I chose scissors for small pills with black handles. After reading many conflicting pill splitting reviews on various days, I decided that I would have more success with the scissors for cutting and longevity. I read about stainless steel and the grades of it. I learned that stainless steel could rust. I also found out that even if the pills are scored, that does not mean they are to be split. Some active ingredients and fillers are not evenly distributed in the whole pill. Some pills lose potency when cut and stored. If one ends up with some pieces and powdered crumbles, it is best to go one day at a time. That cannot go in a pill organizer. I planned to split my pills all at once and have them ready in my 2-week pill organizer. I take half a pill each day. I learned that my medication is one of the ones that should not be cut in advance. When both halves are taken, I cut the next pill right before I consume half of it. Sometimes I have more success than others cutting the pills. It seems to work well most of the time. My medication has a scored-type, indented line on the upper and lower third of it. Since it is not really scored all the way across, I do have to be careful, or I end up getting two pieces of varying size. I think the scissors are working well for me. When I do not get an accurate cut, it is my fault.

Amazing

Good for cutting your pill medication. I had it for about two years and it still works.

These little cutters exude quality...There are cutters out there which cost much less but if you appreciate a fine tool like myself these are the ones...The blades are very sharp and if you run your fingernail along them they are smooth with no bumps which mean the steel is quality and the sharpening was superb.. I cut some soft 3/16" pills in quarters with perfect straight cuts with almost no powder...I tried a cheaper pair that I bought and they resulted in powder on the second cut into quarters...The only means one thing, the blades are sharper and better quality on these Allex Pill Cutters...If you appreciate quality like i do and don't mind paying for that quality, then try these as I believe you'll be more than happy..

At long last: a pill cutter that works well! It’s sharp, durable and well made.

The only thing I don't like about this is lining up non-scored pills to cut evenly. After time you get use to eyeballing and lining up the pills. Those of you who half and then quarter their Oxycontin to get more than 4 hours of analgesic effectiveness because of the hard as a rock polymer. You can now cut these rock hard worthless pills with this cutter and not destroy a pill cutter every other week! If you take the 60mg or 80mg cut them into quarters and take 2 quarters every 5 hours to get 10+ hours from one pill. If you have to take these like I do to treat severe pain, you know that 4 to maybe 5 hours is all you're going to get taking a whole pill. These pills are so hard that once they get by your proton pumps(creates the acid in your stomach)they cease to dissolve whatsoever! These pills are completely pH dependent and require a massive amount of high level acidity to dissolve, in layman's terms they're gut(stomach)dependent! Pay attention to your bowel movement stools and every now and then you will observe a white pill like substance that is more than half of the size of said partially dissolved pill... My doctor is well aware of these things and is the one who told me to quarter my 80mg pills to get atleast 10 hours of analgesic effectiveness instead of 4 to 5 hours from a single pill. He was right and it definitely made a huge difference in analgesic effectiveness for my severe pain levels. Thankfully this pill cutter is going to save those of us who have to cut these insanely exspensive analgesic pills by lasting along time. I used to break a pill cutter every week or every other week cutting these rock hard pills...

Fantastic tool for cutting solid tablets. Very sharp steel blades, well made, cuts through the toughest of tablets with ease, made in Japan. Yes, you do need to 'eyeball' the cutting position to get equal parts, but that isn't difficult. Worth the price, highly recommend.

The scissors really does cut accurately. A little pricey but it worth the investment. Only work for smaller pills.

アイハーブの錠剤や導入剤をカットするときに使うがとても優秀 綺麗に錠剤をカットすることができます

Very sharp. Cuts a large tablet into half. Easy to use. Cuts better than the conventional tablet cutter. Highly recommend it although it's a bit expensive.

De buena calidad, muy filosas, pero trate de cortar una pastilla plana y no lo logre bien
