The Pivotell Equadose Pill Cutter Splitter: A New Kind of Pill Splitter with Double Stainless Steel Blades and a Centering Device. Great for Cutting Tablets for You and Your Pet.

I bought this pill cutter, because my cat has been prescribed Gabapentin, and if you’ve EVER tried to ‘cut’ a Gabapentin Tablet evenly ‘in half’, you will know how almost IMPOSSIBLE it is to do, without it shattering into small pieces! I was tearing my hair out trying to cut these tablets! So I went searching for some sort of ‘alternative’ way to cut my cats Gabapentin Tablets, and I came across THIS WONDERFUL PILL CUTTER! Although initially I have to admit that I did have to think twice before actually purchasing it, because it is quite expensive, I was SO desperate, I thought I’d give it a go! And I am SO glad I did! It works slightly differently from most other pill cutters, because instead of using the standard ’single’ blade, this little pill cutter has TWO BLADES, one on the top blue cover, and another one that comes up from underneath the white bottom. The interior has a ‘guide’ that holds the pill securely in place, preventing it from sliding around whilst you cut it, and the ‘platform’ that you place the pill onto, is ‘floating’ on some sort of a ‘sprung mechanism’, so that when you push down on the blue cover, that contains the first blade, at the same time, the second blade comes up from the bottom, underneath the pill, so then cutting the pill with TWO blades instead of a single blade! A basic, simple concept, but it actually WORKS! I found that the most successful way to use this pill cutter, was to use both hands, and then push down on either side of the cutter, evenly, using the base of my thumbs (see photo 1). It managed to make light work in cutting all of my Tablets, which are less prone to shattering (see photo 2), but it did also manage to successfully cut my cat’s Gabapentin as well, upon ‘most’ attempts, but that wasn’t the fault of this pill cutter, the fault, as I’ve said, lies in the type of tablets that my cat is currently taking. So, to sum up, yes, it IS on the pricey side, but if you have to cut medication Tablets on a regular basis, the time and stress that this pill cutter will save you, makes it definitely WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!

After reading all the comments this has been a God send! We've just had this delivered. Our beautiful dog is on a half Dosage of Gabapentin. Such a tiny pill and this cut it perfectly in half! Glad we found this and highly recommend if you have to split tiny pills. Thank you was expensive but absolutely worth it! 🐶*There are 2 blades inside please keep in mind *

I've tried several pill cutters and they all broke quite quickly so I did some research looking for a good, quality one and came across this. Okay so it's more expensive than I wanted to pay, but it really feels good quality and I also feel like I have more control over this one. It really does cut a tablet in half very cleanly and is accurate. I like the fact it has two blades and is so easy to use. I am more than impressed and probably will save money over replacing the cheap ones.

Precision is important when having to cut tablets that have smaller dosages. I found this does the job well. You do need to make sure you use it on a hard surface to ensure accurate slicing. My 80 year old mum would not be able to manage this though as it is fiddly to place the tablet and to put the lid down carefully.

Love this pill cutter because it’s the 4th or 5th one that I’ve tried and until now none of them have worked and they either just smashed the pill into lots of pieces (the generic cheap plastic ones) or just didn’t work at all (the expensive metal ones that look cool but don’t even hold the pill in place!). This actually cuts the pill into roughly equal halves and handles the pill really well and clamps it into place with a little pull out device and then when it locks into place you put the lid on and then push down and it snaps in half via a blade below which combines with the blade above which gives you a better slicing action and an even division. Don’t even bother with any other ones just get this because the others just don’t work and this is the closest to a 50/50 spilt that I have got and it’s even better than if I manually use a razor blade to split the pills by hand which would sometimes break and crumble whereas this hasn’t done that yet so it beats any other method I’ve tried hands down every time. Possible down sides are it’s made of plastic which hopefully doesn’t break or degrade over time especially with the heavy snapping motion but given how well it works especially compared to the other rubbish on the market, I can’t complain about something that hasn’t even happened yet so it’s all good so far and I really love this pill cutter!

A definite improvement on my last one. The advantage is the dual blade. No crumbs, a neat cut.

Dubious about paying so much for such a small thing, but had been great. Would highly recommend

This was expensive for a pill cutter. It work ok if cutting in half, but my dog has very small tables and I have to cut in quarters. But gripping that hold the table is too big, so no way to keep the table in place while cutting it. So not fit for purpose.
