Apex Pill Crusher, Pil Pulverizer and Grinder, Medicine Crusher and Pulverizer for Large, Small Medications, Tablets, & Vitamins, Crushes Multiple Tablets to Fine Powder with Storage Area in Cap

The design of this pill crusher is simple and effective. Works just fine for what I need.

Unlike the taller ones I've tried before, this crusher is incredibly durable and built to last while others crack under pressure. It feels solid and sturdy in my hands, and I can tell it's made from high-quality materials. What really sets it apart is its crushing power. It pulverizes any pill with ease, turning even the toughest tablets into a fine powder. This crusher gets the job done quickly and efficiently—no more struggling or straining. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with this pill crusher. It's durable, effective, and makes my life so much easier. If you're in the market for a reliable pill crusher, look no further—this one is truly crushing it!

This pill crusher works great. It makes grinding pills much easier. Put the pill in, screw the top down, then twist it back and forth a few times if you think you need to. Remove the lid and the pill is ground into a fine powder. Now you can eat it in applesauce or whatever. The lid is easy to screw on even with weak or arthritic hands. Hope this helps.

As far as pill crushers go, this is a great little travel companion. I have several of these. They work well camping. Although if you have extremely hard pills like garlic or other high press pills and are not strong with your hands you might think on this. I have high standards when coming to crushing pills. I put the powder down a feeding tub, and it has to be a fine powder. The more you use this, the better you can get at it. You can crush a pill and then over press it.

I like the dual function of pulverizer and pill storage in one. Great quality for the price. Able to travel without bringing a bottle of pills.

TL;DR: Broke. I am mainly writing this review to let purchasers know that if you twist “too hard” (I don’t really know what else to tell you about this, I’m certainly no Superman lol), eventually the cup of the product where the pill sits is will spiderweb-fracture (read: break), meaning you will have to re-purchase the item because some of the crushed pill will accumulate in those fractures & that is concerning for 1. accurate dose reasons, and 2. cross contamination if multiple people use this. Otherwise this is a good item, like others have said the threading is not inside the cup which is great. Also to my surprise the top has a little container where you can store loose pills or whatever. I am pretty irritated that I have to re-purchase this though, it’s meant for pulverizing pills so to have it shatter because I… pulverized a pill… is annoying.

The best crusher i have ever gotten for crushing my pills fine powder to mix with applesauce

I cannot recommend this product. I bought it because it was inexpensive and had reviews that averaged 4.3 stars. I decided to stop and write this Apex review while I was shopping for a new and different kind of pill crusher on Amazon. I hope I can find one that doesn't rely on hand strength, endurance and flexibility. And preferably one Made In The USA, however, alas, these days American manufactured products are quite hard to find. I have been using the Apex pill crusher twice a day to crush medications for an elderly parent who has trouble swallowing pills. Mixing powdered medications in chocolate pudding has worked well for us - except when bits and pieces of medication crumbs are mixed in that can be felt, tasted and spit out! The Apex has been so hard on my hands that I started using two rubber grippers - to protect my hands from the hard plastic, and to better grip and twist the upper (grinder/crusher) the lower (pill receptacle) halves. But no matter how long I twist and crush, when I open the top, the pills still have small pieces mixed in with the powder. I have to gently shake the powder to get the remaining pieces toward the middle, under the grinding point, then reapply top and twist some more. It takes 2-3 tries before the pills are completely ground into powder. My hands ache all the time these days. When my rubber grippers began wearing out, I started to buy some more grippers. Then I realized how stupid is that?!? A much better solution for me, would be to buy a superior quality product that works differently and requires less physical hand strength. If your hands have arthritis, limited strength, or dry skin - then avoid this product. IMHO, it is better to pay more and buy a superior product - as I have learned the older I get. Also, I've learned to read the good and the bad reviews. What works well for some doesn't necessarily work well for all.
