Pill Puncher/Remover. Remove Tablets and Pills from Blister Packs. Ideal for those with Limited Dexterity, Weak Grip or the use of only one Hand. Small for Travel or Home use.

Does not work. Very difficult to squeeze with enough force to break foil and get tablets or capsules out as it is so flimsy.

Too stiff to use in arthritic hands

Thought this would be easier than my current one but it’s actually really hard for me to use.The good part is that you can tip the medication straight into your hand afterwards.

Gave it to someone in my family who does have trouble with her tablets

Not as good as one would hope, given its function. It's not sturdy enough to get the top to punch down in a straight line and push a paracetamol caplet out of its blister pack (forget about the mess it makes of a morphine capsule). I've tried and tried with this and even though it's hard work having to break the foil with my nails before pushing pills out, it's preferable to the stream of not pushed out or broken pills that I was getting when trying to use this.It's gone in the drawer with all other mobility aids that end up taking more effort than they were designed to eliminate. I suspect it was one of those 'good ideas' that didn't get tested on people with disabilities.

A waste of money, can't be used one handed, no use with big capsules. Costs more to return than the thing costs, won't be purchasing anything from this seller again.

Although the Aidapt Pill Puncher is very low priced, is delivered quickly and seems well made and strong. I have used it only once but have already decided that it will not meet my needs, even with more practice. (I am 75 with extensive arthritis and have taken basic painkillers for years.) It is hard to use (at first) and tends to break or crush some pills especially paracetamol, a popular pain killer. I have no doubt that, with more practice, it might become an aid but, initially at least, it seems to require much more strength, dexterity and mental concentration than popping pills by hand. Its tendency to crush paracetamol pills is irritating, to say the least.
