Review: It works... - I was a bit hesitant to buy this pill cutter, but after using it today all misgivings are gone. I have some rather large pills that must be cut in half for the correct dosage (the V.A. is trying to save money by forcing us to cut pills in half) and my present pill cutter is just about dead because of those pills. My other cutter has a blade about the thickness of a razor blade which bends at an angle every time I cut one of those monsters with it. The result is an uneven cut with two pieces not even close to the same size and lots of chips and powder as well. The "Equa-Dose" cutter simply makes a nice straight cut and I end up with two pieces the same size and no dust or chips. When I looked at the product page for the "Equa-Dose" I wasn't overly confident that it would do the job; however, I saw almost no other options for large pills...except for one cutter that resembles a pair of pliers (and I can just envision my pill halves flying across the room), so I took the plunge and bought an "Equa-Dose". Good decision! I even tried it on a smaller pill and it cut it evenly just like it did the big pills. There is one thing that they could improve on, and that is adding some small handles to increase the leverage for cutting pills. It isn't a requirement, but it would make it easier for some folks who may have trouble gripping this device. If you don't have any large pills to cut there are a lot of other pill cutters out there that will probably do just what you need, and for less money. But if you have large pills that strain the mechanism of a less substantial cutter (this one is made of aluminum and isn't going to be destroyed by a pill), then by all means get one of these and save yourself some frustration. I got mine today and have already cut over half a bottle of those big pills, and with no problems whatsoever. How long will it last? I honestly don't know, but I am betting on it being useful for a very long time. Edit 9-10-2020 I uploaded a (very) short video of me cutting one of my large pills. I tried to upload a second video of me cutting a normal-sized pill, but desertcart doesn't allow two videos in any one review. So...I decided to let you see a large pill being cut since it is a tad more difficult than a regular pill. I must add, however, that both pills were cut cleanly in two as have been all others I have cut with this device. Also, don't let the Vine Voice throw you; I paid full price for this cutter and would gladly do so again! Update 5-18-2025 Here I am buying another one of these. Did my other one fail? No way...I misplaced it on a recent trip. I used it regularly since 2020 without a hitch and it was still going strong; good as new described it perfectly. I will try to use more diligence this time, but some things are just worth the money and this is one of those things! 11-20-2025: My old EquaDose finally showed up and now I have them both to compare. I noticed on the first use of the new one that it felt somehow different than the old one. It's difficult to describe, but the entire cutting action seemed...I don't know, just different. Maybe it's like an old favorite car that suits you to a "T" and then you drive someone else's car - same model, same everything - and it isn't quite the same. All I could do was shake my head and wonder what the difference was; until the old one surfaced. The sticker on the back of the old one says "crafted in the USA", while the new one says "manufactured in China". Crafted versus manufactured...there it is! That probably explains it; or maybe it explains nothing. All I can say is there is a difference; a difference you would never know if you only have one of these. Having said all of this, would I still recommend this pill cutter? Yes, yes, and yes again. I stand by my earlier assessment and still feel this is the finest pill cutter you can buy for the money.
Review: It Works!!!! - I have been giving my cat blood pressure medication for a few years. They are the smallest pills I have ever seen and they need to be split in 1/4 's !!! I have tried probably 20+ pill splitters - each would work for maybe a few times then same old result - crushed pills worthless to me! Often I would only get one usable quarter per pill. So yes, this is a bit expensive but the money it has saved me in having to refill his medication over and over has more than paid for itself. It DOES take some time to get the positioning right - because the pill is so small. It can be a bit tedious at first but after a while I know exactly how to do it. Again this is worth the effort in the long run! Update: I have now been using this splitter since November - 6 months and it is still as great as it was when I got it. I have saved a lot of money as don't ruin pills anymore. I have the smallest pills I have ever seen with NO scoring to split. They are expensive and I was averaging maybe 2 doses out of 4 per pill. Quite a difference. I have been splitting this pill for almost 5 years and gone through every pill splitter created and this is the ONLY ONE that has worked. I have seen so many complaints about it's difficulty in using or showing crushed pills and I will say there is a learning curve. Meaning you do have to position it correctly to get equal quarters so yes, in the first few uses I did average only 2 pieces per 4. However, not once did the pill crush. After I learned exactly how to place it and use it, no issues - ever! So I guess the bottom line is how much is it worth your time and money to take the time you need to practice with it when ultimately you are rewarded with a pill splitter you will use long term and save money! I have pictured a cut pill. This is what I get each and every time I use it. The pill actually looks larger in the photo and I forgot to take a photo before splitting the last pill in this bottle but in comparison it is half the size of an Advil tablet, or less than half the size. It's tiny!! Update: It is 2025 - 7 years since I wrote this review. I have over the years had to split pills for 5 cats as they aged and a Golden Retriever. Over the years sadly 4 cats have passed away as did the golden. All lived long happy lives. However, my husband and I have also aged and now we are splitting pills for our selves and our 1 remaining cat. So there has never been a long time between uses in our house! Just want to say it is still as sharp as ever, never crushes, always perfect cut. Some pills easier than others but most are tiny. I must admit it did take some time for me to learn how to eyeball the perfect position and adjust between the blades which may not be an easy task for arthritic or unstable hands (which I don't have yet fortunately) but otherwise it's still as sharp and precise as ever.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this split tablets into thirds?  If so, are they pie cuts (like a peace sign) or cuts down the long side of pill so you have thin slices?**
A: Are you trying to split a round flat pill or a lozenge-type pill? If it's lozenge-type it works fine, unless you need to be really precise. (After all, every three doses you are getting the correct total amount.) I need to split my lozenges at the 2/3 mark, stretching two tablets into three doses. I keep a little scale handy to check the weights now and then, but mostly I just eyeball around where the 2/3 mark would be and easily make the cut there. If I'm a little over or under I don't care, since it all evens out after three doses.

**Q: Can it cut an oblong pill into 1/4's?**
A: Yes the Equadose can cut an oblong pill into 1/4's. To do so, first you would stand your pill up on it's end, center it between the blades and cut it lengthwise. Then you could lay each cut side down and cut it into quarters. When you put the pill on it's end it will likely go above the blades some. That will not matter, the Equadose scores the bottom of the pill so well that it will split right through. You can check out a video on Youtube by searching "Equadose".

**Q: How should the Equadose pill splitter be washed?  Is a soapy sponge ok? And should it be washed before first use?**
A: You can wipe the Equadose pill splitter with just some warm water and a cloth. Make sure it dries thoroughly before using it.

**Q: Will this halve relatively soft triangular pills (sumatriptan-Sun Labs , India)**
A: Probably.  I have triangular sumatriptan pills from Orchid Healthcare, India and it cuts them well.  These pills don't cut well with other splitters I've tried.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best-in-Class Pill Splitter
*by S***Ć on April 2, 2024*

There are two mechanisms for pill splitters: the guillotine, which has a single blade that you press against a flat surface, and the vice, which has two blades that you press against each other. The vice mechanism is far superior. The guillotine mechanism is the default in cheap, plastic pill splitters. It causes small tablets to fragment and leaves a lot of powder residue from tablets that tend to crumble. The vice mechanism, on the other hand, creates clean, precise cuts, so that when you put the two parts of a tablet that was split in half together, you often can't tell that the tablet had been cut at all. There are no fragments that fall off when a tablet is split, but, on rare occasions, there can be an extremely small amount of powdery residue. The Equadose Pill Splitter is the best-in-class pill splitter. It's the only one that I'd even think about using on small tablets. It's sturdily made and very satisfying to use. It's a buy-it-for-life item, which makes it worth the money many times over. Please don't waste money on plastic pill splitters. If you need to cut small (or large) pills in half, the Equadose Pill Splitter is by far the best solution. Other customers have written about having difficulty aligning a pill for an equal split. If you have a tablet with an indentation in the middle to help you to see where to split it, you just need to align that indentation with one of the blades, which is easy. The important part is to make sure that the tablet's edges are vertically aligned. That is, when the tablet is within the blades, you don't want the tablet to be tilted, but perfectly straight horizontally. I think that this is what customers struggle with, but it's not terribly difficult. It just takes some practice to develop the right technique and gain confidence, at which point you can split pills quickly, without frustration. I wish that someone would create a video that compares splitting the same type of small, round pill using both a guillotine and vice splitter. There is a night-and-day difference. I would never buy a plastic pill splitter again. If you need to split pills, the Equadose Pill Splitter is the best pill splitter on the market. I daresay that it's even fun to use.
