Review on 🧶 Boye 332621800GM 4.25mm G Aluminum Crochet Hook, 6-inch, Pink by Steven Gray

I already wrote a review about bamboo hooks bought on the Aliexpress site, which I absolutely did not like. Today I want to talk about metal hooks purchased there. The set consists of 12 pieces of different sizes - from number 2 to number 8 (with halves). All hooks are different colors. This is convenient - it's easier to navigate in a bunch of similar tools. Each hook is numbered in such a way that the inscription does not fade over time. The design of the hooks is cast, one-piece. I was specifically looking for one, because I had already "played enough" with hooks with plastic and wooden handles. It may be more convenient to knit with them, but often these same handles fall off at the most inopportune moment. I am not talking about expensive branded tools, because I have never used them. Perhaps there designs are more reliable. The metal is quite dense (so to speak). The tool does not bend in the hands. After work, the hooks remain straight and even. The paint has not peeled off yet (the hooks are in use for about six months). The hooks go well through the loops and grab the thread. Nothing sticks. It is convenient to work with such tools. I crochet a little, mostly with the help of it I utilize the remnants of yarn. I knit potholders, rugs and napkins for summer cottages, slippers and other trifles. Also, this tool is indispensable for knitting. For example, when you need to pull off the top of a hat or toe of a sock, hide the ends of the threads. I keep all my hooks that I use in an ordinary school pencil case. Convenient and doesn't take up much space. A set of such hooks cost me 277 rubles. (specially peeped in the history of orders). It is inexpensive, in our offline and online stores such a set will cost more. I recommend buying Chinese metal hooks Aliexpress. They may not be the best quality and most comfortable hooks in the world, but at least their design and construction are thoughtful and aimed at long-term use.
