Summary: 1 Stars
I originally bought this pill crusher/splitter because I needed a splitter and I thought the other features crusher/cup/storage might come in handy. Well, the splitter didn't cut my pills cleanly...the pill crumbled horribly when cut. Also the blade was very exposed which worried me a bit since I had to hold the pill still when I started cutting. The various pieces merely snapped together (except for the crusher which screws on at the bottom), so I would not have put a pill in the storage compartment and put the whole thing in my pocketbook for fear of it opening. I started to give it a bad review after a few unsatisfactory uses, but decided to purchase another splitter first and see if it was any better (I thought my pill was perhaps, simply "unsplittable"). I purchased the Apex Ultra Pill Splitter. The Apex was awesome!!! My pill is definitely "splittable". Furthermore, the Apex held my pill still so I didn't have to worry about cutting my fingers because I was holding the pill still. The Apex has a safety shield over the blade when the splitter is open, and it is very easy to push the pill into the storage compartment once cut (this was not so easy with the splitter you are reviewing). The storage compartment on the Apex only snaps closed, so you wouldn't leave the pill in it and through it in your purse. But overall the Apex was awesome and this one was not.Customer Review: Could do better
Summary: 1 Stars
The splitter does a great job at splitting the pill. However the cover of this super sharp cutter does not snap close securely. I work in home health and if I put my hand into my bag looking for something and the cap happens to be open, I could get a really nasty cut. Its not safe. A cap with a razor that sharp should be able to close and snap shut securely.
Also the pill crusher part does not crush the pill to a fine powder. After screwing it on on all the way, its still not tight enough to really crush the pill to a consistency fine enough not to clog a Gtube. So I do not use that function. This device has potential to be improved into something much better.
