I have personally tested three pill cutters. Two of them were great and one not so much. Here they are:
Recommended pill cutters

Apex Ultra Pill Cutter
Pill Splitter With Retracting Blade Guard – For Cutting Small Pills or Large Pills In Half
JohnBee Pill Cutter
Best Pill Cutter with Shield for Small or Large Pills – Keychain Pill Holder As Bonus
Pill cutters that are NOT recommended
Another pill cutter from the same company is NOT recommended because I found that it tended to crush the pills rather than cutting them cleanly:
Apex Pill Splitter – Includes Long Lasting Double Beveled Stainless Steel Blade Splitter.
Pill crushers
