Too Much and Yet, Not Enough
I purchased two (2) cutters, which were well packed with an informative invoice/flyer, and promptly delivered.<br /><br />I hoped that these cutters would replace a similar simpler cutter. (Its blade became dull after years of use). Upon inspection of my two new cutters, I was disappointed to note that there is a pair of arms at each of their sides, which seem to be intended to stabilize the cutter, though after several uses, I can report with certainty that the arms more likely are a well-intended classic example of over-engeneering, which does a dandy job of making it impossible to retrieve my pill pieces with my fingers. Since the arms prevented me from picking my pill pieces out of the cutter, I had to fully open the device, and dump my pills out (ideally onto a piece of cloth to prevent the pieces from bouncing away).<br /><br />The sad thing is, I have managed to cut about 5 or 6 out of 10 of my quarter inch pills with convex sides in half.<br /><br />There must be a way for design wizzards to overcome this, and while they're at it, save some plastic by doing away with those bothersome arms! There's too much design intended to ensure an even cut, yet not enough design to accommodate rounded pill sides and easy retrieval of pill pieces. (Great seller, but a so-so product.)
