Lishae Aluminum Pill Cutter Pill Splitter with Safety Shield
My hands trimmer bad after taking my pills. I have to cut one of them in half. The one I have is old,v shaped. I have trouble using it. Would this kind make it easier?

I had some luck with this one. EQUADOSE Pill Cutter V2. Amazon.com. It takes a little time to get used to it but worked better than the standard kind.

Is it for human pills or animal pills? Ive heard cat nail cutters work for pills but not sure how well it would work with larger ones.

I was debating between the 2. Would that one be easier to use?

Just looking at them I'd say it depends on the shape of your pills. The Equadose appears to be designed specifically for round pills, and it looks to be ideal for round pills. The Lishae would work beautifully for caplets, but if your hands are trembling I think you might have some trouble positioning the pill and keeping it in place until the cut is made, especially with round pills that might want to roll away.

I have this one: https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-premium-pill-cutter/ID=prod6212105-product

I've used it for cat meds (tiny) for years. I've used similar for human meds. I like that the guard holds it in place so you get a more even cut.

I would think getting your pills to stand on end as the Amazon one requires could be a challenge. A cutter where you set the pill up against a “V” and then close the top is the easiest to use. Here is mine
