Its thin, sharp blade works very well!
I have owned many different pill cutters over the years, and this is the best one I’ve ever used, by far. It is constructed of medical-grade, BPA-free plastic, and its stainless-steel blade is thin and sharp. This allows it to cut pills in half without turning them into crumbs and dust, which happens all too often when such blades are too wide and too dull.<br /><br />It is typical for pill cutters to have a V-shape for holding pills of various sizes in place, so that is not in itself a unique feature. However, what is a new feature, to me at least, is that this pill cutter provides a highly visible, painted line running down the center of the V space. This mark allows the user to accurately position pills which contain an indented, break line in their center, such that this break line is in alignment with the cutter’s blade. This makes it additionally likely that this particular type of pill will be split cleanly in half, with no wasted crumbs.<br /><br />This pill cutter is conveniently larger than any other pill cutter I’ve owned, which are usually about 1-inch x 2.5-inch in size. This one is 1.5-inch x 3.5-inch, making it easier to handle for anyone who suffers from arthritis.<br /><br />Finally, as an extra little plus, this handy device is surprisingly attractive due to its sleek design and the fact that it is a pleasing, aqua color.<br /><br />All in all, I find this to be an excellent product that I would not hesitate to recommend to family or friends.
