First Aid Only Tablet Crusher, with Deposit Compartment, Blue, Plastic, P-100031 Units

I bought this to crush tablets to put into my cat’s food as he has been prescribed a large number. He wouldn’t take the tablets whole. So I had been crushing them myself. It’s fair to say that this product does a much better job than me with the back of a spoon!The product is small, has two compartments. One is the crushing section with a plunger that you twist to retract to insert the tablet, then twist back on to crush it. At first it didn’t crush but I realised that was because I needed to keep crushing even when it became more difficult. You do need to go at it with a bit of force! I think you could control whether you want a roughly crushed consistency or a powder, according to how much you keep twisting and grinding with the plunger.The second compartment is a place to store tablets and it has a divider there. It would be ok for whole tablets, but if you wanted to transfer the crushed tablet, it would be difficult and you’d need a separate container because both compartments are on different ends.All in all a great tool, inexpensive, well-made and one that is fulfilling its function.

I got this tablet crusher for crushing up my cat's medicine (as you vet first if it is okay to crush) as he was struggling to eat them whole himself and he hates it being force-fed (understandable honestly) so I decided to research crushers. I decided on this one as there was a compartment to store pills which meant the medicine and the crusher were always together and there wasn't a risk of it accidentally being used for crushing a person's pills. The plastic is high quality and sturdy. It is incredibly easy to crush pills - before we were using scissors or pliers to cut the tablets. I just place one in the middle and turn the handle a few times and it quickly turns into a smooth dust which I just sprinkle onto my cat's food. Because it is crushed so fine it does leave behind a little but it is easy to wipe it with a finger and get the rest off. If you wanted something that cuts pills into sections then I wouldn't recommend this crusher. However, if you wanted something that can crush pills for mixing into water/yoghurt then this would be perfect. Great value for money and I wish I had bought it sooner. I will buy another one if I need one for human pills.

Needs a little bit of hand muscle to crush pills but after first crush it easily turns pills to powder, a small tip is if pills are flat try and stack on top of each other it helps with the first crush. I also found if you can stack the pills on the crushing side of the lid and then screw the base on helps to keep the pills in position for crushing.

Exactly as expected, crushes tablets big or small,no problems,easy to use,great value for money

This does not work - at least not for fairly small tablets. Requires super human effort to try to crush pill and even then still doesn’t work. Sore hands as a result and a complete waste of money. Not fit for purpose.

This is such simple idea but sometimes simple is best.Made from thick plastic it’s simple to use and works well.Ordered for cats medicine and grinds to fine powder that easy to sprinkle and mix into food.Good value

Doesn't work on bigger/harder pills. Tried it on the dogs' worming pills and it didn't crush them either. Works ok on small pills but I don't have a problem swallowing those!

Works great bargain price buy it
