I need to split them into quarters. Please note that for all pill cutters, it's best to press slowly to get a more accurate cut.

Once placed, the cut is accurate. Please note that you place the pill flat, not on its rounded end. The advantage is that you can see clearly where the cut will be, and it's more accurate. When I tried to place a pill upright, balanced on its curved end, although the cut is a shorter distance, it was less accurate.Equadose Pill Cutter V2: 4 starsI have used this for a long time, recommended.Pros:Double blade gives very accurate cutsSafe, retractable bladeCreates clean halvesNo powder or crushingCons:Flimsy plasticWhen cutting a small pill into quarters, it's hard to position a half pill, and is occasionally prone to inaccuracy and slipping.Auvon Scissors-Shaped Pill Cutter: 3 stars for small pillsPros:Durable, sturdy designInexpensiveCuts accuratelyAlmost no powder or crushingCons:With small pills, it's hard to see exactly where the cut will happen. And, being scissors, the blades don't meet in the middle, they slide past each other, so I didn't get a perfect cut. This design is prone to user error. I would rate it more highly with large pills, but it didn't get the job done for small pills.Ezy Dose Pill Cutter: 1 starNot recommendedCons:Flimsy plasticOnly one bladeInaccurateCrushes pillsApex Deluxe Pill Splitter: 1 starNot recommendedCons:Flimsy plasticOnly one bladeInaccurateCrushes pills

The pills I have to cut in half (and occasionally quarters) are very small, powdery, and honestly the most frustrating things on the planet. I'm allowed absolutely no extras of them, so every time I accidentally pulverize a pill, I have to compensate by shorting myself a dose later on in the month when I run low. Traditional pill cutters from the store were causing this to happen at least 40% of the time, which made pill cutting a nail-biting nightmare every time.The first two dozen or so cuts of this are absolutely beautiful. As the blade begins to wear, you'll get a little more fraying, but that's to be expected. There's still a margin of human error in play too where you can press too hard or too softly, center it in the mold incorrectly, or just otherwise have the planets line up wrong -- but overall, this is BY FAR the most effective and least frustrating pill cutter I've ever used in my life. They give you a ton of different size molds for different sized pills and also throw in several extra little containers to hold those molds AND the cut pills, which I thought was a kind touch. The pressure on either side of the pill ensures that even if you get some crumbling, it's kept very minimal. Overwhelmingly the cuts are clean and my pills are perfectly halved, no crumbling or fraying, a good 90% of the time. That is much, much, much better than my old 40% success rate.There are a lot of pill cutters out there that will do the job, but honestly this is the one I find myself preferring over all the others. It's a great product and if I'm going to be honest, the first time I used it and it cut my pill in half perfectly twelve times in a row, I actually teared up a little. After years of frustration trying to deal with crappy pill cutters, this is a breath of fresh air. Do yourself a favor and snag it.

It's very hard to find a decent pill cutter. This one is.It's not perfect.The cuts are not razor clean without any pill dust, but it's the best pill cutter I've found in my multi-year search.I like that it has a number of different inserts for various pill shapes and sizes to hole them firmly in place for the cut.

Finally, a pill spitter that works and does not mess up your pills. Love the inserts that come with this. Found the perfect size insert for my pill. I have bought so many different kinds of splitters, none worked correctly. The inserts are a wonderful addition to this product; they are what make this spitter so much better than the other ones on the market.I have to spit one of my prescription medications, per doctor's order, so glad I bought this one.
