Product Description
The twin blade, aluminum, all-in-one pill cutter.
Equadose is a revolutionary new pill cutter that solves many of the issues with traditional, plastic, single-blade tablet cutters; and it works with just about every size and shape tablet. The design utilizes two opposing blades that come in from the sides to effectively score the pill prior to cutting. No more unequal halves, dangerous powder, or wasted medication. The patented blades are angled in such a way that they are not sharp to the touch, yet they will never dull.
When not in use, Equadose acts as a pill box with two compartments for pill storage. As a pill case the swivel lid keeps medication safe in your pocket. We proudly assemble every one of our splitters right here in the USA, out of the finest aerospace grade aluminum, with no expense spared.

Key Features
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Opposing BladesThe Equadose blades are angled so they will never dull, yet they are not sharp to the touch. The double blades create a split point that gives you perfect halves and quarters. |
Comprehensive DesignCuts any size or shape of pill. Splits scored as well as un-scored tablets. The trick is in the twin blades. |
Quality CraftsmanshipMade of solid aircraft aluminum. Assembled in the USA. |
Instructions
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Step 1First open the pill splitter and place each pill up on its side. It is important that the tablet is placed on its smallest side to engage the most surface area with the blades. Center the pill between the blades. |
Step 2Close the blue lid or cover the splitter with you non-dominant hand. The double blades will still create an even split point, even when the tablet extends above the splitter. |
Step 3Use your dominant hand to push the metal blades together tightly, and split the pill in two. |
Troubleshooting Tips
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Unequal HalvesMake sure each tablet is up on its smallest side between the blades for splitting. This will engage the most surfaces area, and give you the best cuts. |
Large PillsThe double blades will create an even split point, even when the pill extends above the splitter. Simply place the large pill up on its side, use your hand to cover the cutter, and push the blades together. |
Small PillsIf your pill is so tiny that it is difficult to handle, use a good pair of tweezers to center the pill between the blades. |
Cutting QuartersWhen cutting a circular pill into quarters, first cut the whole pill in half. Then place each half cut-side down on the splitter, center each piece, and cut quarters. |

Neutral to Disliked: I have excellent hand-dexterity but for those with large fingers or dexterity limitations this pill-cutter would be difficult to use particularly for small pills, due to the need to exactly position the pill between the cutting anvils where the round cavities are a bit small in their depth & circular area. My fingers are men’s large, no limitations & excel dexterity … and this cutter worked well … but for some with Arthritis it could be very difficult, also this cutter does not have a “pill centering” device and relies upon the person’s eye-hand judgement skill to make equal portion cuts.
I ordered an Equadose pill cutter Monday morning on Amazon and had it by 6 pm with same day delivery. I first tried using it Tuesday morning and after a few trial cuts I had become quite comfortable using it. Even with arthritis in my thumb, it was not hard for me to use.
And I didn’t need to watch the online videos, it’s really quite user friendly.
We have four geriatric kitties, one is almost 20, Two are 17 and the youngest is 9. They’re all showing their age in different ways, however Sam, 17, has the most health issues with hyperthyroidism and now hypertension which was discovered recently when he suddenly lost his vision. Poor fella had a BP of 300, and like people, it should’ve been 120-130. He’s on 3 different medications now and all have to be split into halves and quarters and given twice a day. I have to cut a lot of pills!
Accuracy of the dosage is critical to getting his blood pressure under control. His vision & BP are slowly improving but still not quite where they need to be just yet. He will be on these medications for the rest of his lifetime.
You can imagine how frustrated we were when we were trying to split all those tablets with a standard razor blade type pill cutter. I tried no less than 4 brand new cutters plus a new one that the pharmacist tried. The blood pressure pill amlodipine was the most difficult to cut, it’s hard, brittle and crumbles. It either shattered or split unevenly. We tried tablets from 3 different suppliers, all with the same issues. It is rather expensive drug too, but our main concern was getting consistently equal cuts. The other meds weren’t nearly as bad as the amlodopine but I was still not happy with how they were cutting either as they too were uneven.
My husband resorted to using a hacksaw...you can imagine where that was going...trip to the ER was just waiting to happen!!
He then saw the Equadose pill cutter on Amazon and agreed that we should give it a go. At first if seemed a bit pricey but not when we realized we had already spent more than that on buying razor blades in little plastic boxes that were made in China.
On my first try, I was able to split at least 3 weeks of Sam’s meds in maybe 10-15 minutes. All those perfectly cut little tabs are now organized in little Rx bottles, ready to be added to Sam’s 7 day tower pill organizer that we also bought here on Amazon. Finally, we are able to give our fur-baby the correct doses of his meds. what a relief.
We can’t thank the Tripletts enough for designing and making such a great pill cutter. And it’s made from airplane aluminum right here in the USA! It’s so sturdy it should last for years.
For many people, it might not be a life or death, eyesight or blindness issue, but to our Sam it most certainly is, so it is to us too.
The Equadose pill cutter was WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!!
That being said, getting a small pill centered is incredibly frustrating. Eyeballing it is not exactly a precision method, and it's made more difficult by the way the blades come together at an angle, making it hard to hold the pill straight.
An easy fix for this would be some vertical positioning marks spanning outward from the center, and a small groove/channel in the middle to help stop the pill from rolling side to side/away. Then this thing would be much easier to deal with.
I am happy with my purchase and will absolutely recommend it to friends, but I will tell them about the difficulties as well as the advantages.
