Could anybody recommend where to buy a decent pill cutter? I don't want to buy something that isn't going to work properly! I've seen plenty on ebay - are they all the same sort of thing? Thanking you kindly :)

Looks like a possibility? amazon.co.uk/Safe-Sound-Pil...

Thanks Hypnoteq x

Yes me too.The ordinary white one in Boots is fine.I don't know how good the de luxe one is so can't comment on whether it is worth paying extra.

Thank for that. Do you mean this one? boots.com/en/Safe-Sound-ext... They have several :)

That's not mine, mine is a bit more elegant in shape lol, but the principal is the same. My partner also recently bought one, it's working fine. They also do one that cuts and crushes too, if you need that option. :-)

I bought mine from Boots and I haven't had much success .That could be down to Activis being crumbly though !I spend ages lining it up but it never cuts 50/50 .

I nicked a blade from my hubbers Stanley knife, works great. I have bought more pill cutters that Stanley has pills, and all are rubbish. My pills are tiny and I try to be exact, the blade is good. My pill cutter always cut crooked. If you find the daddy of all pill cutters let me know tho. :-)
