Best Pill Cutters of 2025

"I purchased these scissors as I needed to split both scored and unscored pills. I found the box cutters to be fragile and unreliable, so I decided to give these a shot. Some of the pills are large, while others are small. The advantages include a sharp blade that requires minimal force, easy gripping of pills between the blades, and the pills always landing in my hand without scattering. However, the scissors are very sharp and could be dangerous for children, they don't always cut the pills evenly, and the finger holes might be too small for those with larger hands or fingers. Despite these drawbacks, I'm happy with the scissors' performance and would buy them again."

"I have some tiny, crumbly pills that need to be quartered, and these scissors manage them without any issues. The only downside is that you have to cut the pills individually and be careful not to pinch your fingers while holding small pills in place."

"I used to use a regular pill cutter, but the soft tablets would crumble because they're soft on the inside. However, these scissors make a clean cut down the middle without causing any crumbling. I'm delighted with this purchase. I'll continue to use my regular pill cutter for smaller pills, but these scissors will be my first choice for larger, oblong pills."

"I absolutely love my pill splitter! Before I got it, I struggled with a kitchen knife to cut my medication, which was tedious and time-consuming.

"I found this pill cutter to be extremely handy! Its compact size fits perfectly in my purse, and it handles even the largest pills with ease. The included pill holder is a nice touch, helping me stay organized. I definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with large pills."

"I purchased this pill cutter for my dog's medication. It performs much better than attempting to cut pills with a knife. While it can leave some breakage if not used carefully, it's simple to operate. I appreciate the little brush that helps clean it out, making it easy to keep tidy."

"This pill cutter is truly the best! It's well-constructed and incredibly user-friendly, making my experience much smoother."

"This little cutter works great! My husband and I have been using it for a long time. Even though it's made of plastic and seemed wobbly initially, it performs perfectly. I make sure to position the pill correctly for an even cut. A solid tap down, and the halves come out beautifully. It’s a relief to have a reliable tool that removes a former frustration from daily life."

"I’ve used several pill splitters, but this one is the best by far. It easily accommodates large pills and allows for precise splitting.

"I’ve had my Equidose V2 Pill Splitter for over half a year now. Initially, I got nice, crisp cuts, which made it easy to cut my pills into eighths. However, recently, I've noticed some pills are crumbling when I cut them. Despite that, I still believe it's one of the best out there, even if I'm a bit disappointed with the performance lately."

"This little device has been a lifesaver for me. We had a sick cat needing pills administered twice daily. Instead of cutting each pill in half and then quarters one by one, I can now slice through multiple pills at once. While it takes a bit of work to align the half-cut pills for a perfect quarter, it ultimately works swimmingly."

"I truly appreciate how easy it is to cut any kind of pills in half. The quality is impressive, but I noticed that larger pills may not fit well in the holder. I've had to place them on top to cut, which occasionally leads to imperfect halves. Still, I think this is a great product and would recommend it to others."

"I've been prescribed a tiny pill that I need to cut in half for morning and night doses. My pharmacy gave me a free pill splitter, but it was a hassle trying to get the small pill just right; I often ended up with uneven halves or crumbled bits. After trying various methods, I found this splitter, and it has been a game changer! I can now cut multiple pills perfectly in just minutes, which has saved me so much time!"

"I wanted a reliable pill splitter, and this one has exceeded my expectations. I can easily split my small pills into quarters, and it’s compact and strong enough to store anywhere. It's perfect for various pill sizes, making it a great tool for my needs!"

"Finally, I found a pill splitter that works for my tiny pills! I love the adjustable dial that lets me customize the fit. It slices pills perfectly in half, and the catch basin is really handy for storing the halves. The included brush is a nice touch for keeping everything clean. I highly recommend it!"
