These are my favorite crochet hooks that I've used so far. They were suggested in the book Creepy Cute Crochet: Zombies, Ninjas, Robots, and More!. At first i bought just a G hook at a local craft store and then decided the get the whole set. My main suggestion for these hooks though is that they come in different colors for each size. I couple of times i picked up the F hook and started working on something that i had previously worked with a G hook. I've also wished that they were a bit longer at times, but that might be because i have big hands.

My right hand is paralyzed and I can use these hooks! I have been using them for 7 years. They are awesome and I really hope they are never discontinued!

I'm new to crocheting and really like the comfort I find in these hook. The case and the hooks themselves are well constructed and I expect them to last a lifetime.

Received these as a gift from my boyfriend, and am very pleased! I had wanted this set for a while, and was drawn to the larger handles since small crochet hooks are hard on your hands if you work for hours at a time.

Pros:

-Larger handles make is easier to work for longer periods of time

-Convenient carry case--small enough to fit inside of my standard sized messenger bag, but large enough to find easily at the bottom. Also keeps sizes neatly laid out and easy to find. I like the flap over top to keep the hooks inside the case, as well.

-Clearly marked US and mm sizes (no UK, but that's to be expected)

Cons:

-I do wish the handles were more round--the flattened handles make for easy storage, but do not fit ideally in one's hand.

-Ugly fabric for the case (this is nitpicky and just my opinion, but I thought I'd throw it in)

Overall, I love this set. The larger handles are much kinder to my hands and wrists, though the shape is not perfectly ideal. If you are worried about this, I recommend going to your local craft or yarn store to take a look at the handle shape first. Though, it has not significantly bothered me yet.

I bought a size I hook today for a project I'm working on for my daughter for Christmas. I have carpel tunnel in my right hand and spent several hours awake with the pain last night, most likely from crocheting. The new hook was much easier to handle and my hand didn't hurt at all while using it. With fingers crossed, I am going to order the set of 8 for $35 - I paid $11 for one!

These are lovely hooks, the set is very nice, the case is useful and well-designed. The only minor problem I have with them is their size and weight. The idea behind soft-touch hooks is to make them more comfortable. These are lightly cushioned, as advertised, but they'd be better if the handles were also a bit bigger, more ergonomic, to go along with the cushioning.

I have had two carpel tunnel releases and I used a Clover hook before I had the operations because it was most comfortable. I've used alumimum, plastic and the steel hooks for various projects and the Clover hooks I've used exclusively for two years now and have had no problem. Every individual has to find the type hook that is most comfortable for them, as I did. My hands are not dainty, they are arthritic, and I hold the hooks any way comfortable for me. I stop and exercise my fingers every hour, too. I started out with just one hook and, sorry, I'm hooked.

I simply love these hooks. I have arthritis & thought I was going to have to give up crocheting altogether,until I found these hooks. Now, I can crochet without my hand hurting so bad. Would reccomend these to these highly.

Wonderful and quality product for those with arthritis or other hand issues. It makes things much easier! Shipping was prompt and the product was exactly as advertised.

I loved these hooks when I first got them, however I have started an afghan with the barvarian stitch and I can not do the stitch with this hook, the part from the handle to the tip of the hook is too short, I need it to hold 10 stitches of worsted weight yarn, and that is not easy to do. I had to pull out my old standby Boye hooks. For any other type of crochet these hooks are really great, there is something about the shape of the actual hook that make is easier for me to crochet. I have tried many other kinds of hooks, and none have a hook that is a nice as these.
