A pill crusher comprising:

• first and second handles pivoted together at first ends thereof and having finger retaining rings at second ends thereof;
• a first transversely serrated pill-engaging jaw comprising a first handle-engaging portion rigid with said first handle substantially perpendicular to and rigid with a first serrated pill-engaging surface wherein said first handle-engaging portion further comprises pivot means offset from the first pill-engaging surface for pivoting said first and second handles;
• a second transversely serrated pill-engaging jaw able to mesh with said first serrated jaw comprising a second handle-engaging portion rigid with said second handle substantially perpendicular to and rigid with a second serrated pill-engaging surface engaged with said second handle;
• said pivot means being offset from the second pill-engaging surface and spaced laterally from a plane passing centrally between said pill-engaging surfaces;
• wherein said first and second serrated pill-engaging surfaces extend substantially perpendicularly to the plane of said handles and mesh together, each said surface comprising a convex curved outer perimeter extending outwardly from said handles for engaging a palm of a user's hand;
• and
• wherein a pill placed between said first and second serrated surfaces is crushed when said first and second handles are gripped together.
