I've learned my lesson. I have been crocheting Susan Bates for over 40 years. These are the only hooks I use. It was definitely not the quality I was used to. The hooks were rough. So rough that the yarn could not slip off. I even asked my husband to straighten them but the hemming didn't work. I've noticed on other sites that Susan Bates hooks made in Mexico have issues. Now I only buy hooks from the USA.
