Review on Boye Crochet Hook Size Glitter by Lori Aguirre

I am new to crocheting and am thinking of trying different types of crochet. I bought this lovely kit and used a 5.5mm crochet hook for an easy double crochet project using medium Red Heart Super Saver Ombre yarn. The hook felt light and comfortable in the hand. I thought it glided smoothly enough. I appreciate the smaller rounded cone head and the large grip area that sits lower on the hook than some others. Not even halfway through my project and it broke in half. It's cheap enough to buy a few and keep on hand, but wish it lasted longer.
