For some obscure reason I have never got on with this type of counter.
Will give it another go when see one in a pharmacy.

In Zimbabwe we generally use a completely different type of counter consisting of a tray and compartment for collecting the counted tablets. You move the tabs/caps into the compartment with a spatula in fives until you have the required number. Then return the excess to stock and pour out the counted tablets into a container. Its only since I've been teching in the UK that I've used the triangle.
Its taken some getting used to and I can't usually count without the help of a pair of tweezers. The big advantage of the triange and the capsule counter is that you can quickly check after I can quickly check after i have counted.
I think that the tray is much quicker and it can do: tablets, irreglarly shaped tablets and capsules. However I have often been interupted while counting and had to start counting again. With a triangle you can tell at a glance what needs to be done.
