2.0 out of 5 stars Heavy duty? I don't think so, August 29, 2010

These were advertised as heavy duty needles, one specificaly for leather, and I've already broken 3 of them. They might have been suited for cotton, lycra, something like that, but denim would be too much for them. Granted, I was working with leather, but it was very light leather, not saddle leather or anything, just suede and some upholstery.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Heavy duty, September 18, 2011

I agree with the previous post about these not being heavy duty. I was in a rush and ordered 2 packs. They arrived promptly - in time for my return to my boat overseas. I use the needles to "whip" the ends of sailboat rope (called "line" in nautical terms). I brought some new line back with me, along with the needles. When I tried the first one, the eye soon broke with virtually no sideways pressure on it. I was just pulling light waxed thread straight through the new 1/4" "yacht braid" line. When I went to remove a second needle from the package, I noticed it's eye was already broken. I'm sure the seller would let me return them but that's not convenient for me now.

BTW, I bought these to replace a nearly identical looking package of 7 with the company name, Dritz, on the package. I had bought them many years ago. They had held up well after many uses over the years.

The needles are fine only because they were relatively inexpensive. But they are good only for general cotton fabrics. I tried them on denim and the needle bent out of shape. If it cannot work on denim, I wouldn't call it heavy duty really.
