Why didn't I buy them sooner

If you're taking up a hobby and don't know if you're going to knit that much I wouldn't bother buying these but if you honestly knit all the time and want something that is comfortable and smooth, GET IT WITHOUT BUYER HISTORY. I bought them and immediately regretted them (although the price is incredibly cheap compared to most). I'm incredibly frugal when it comes to knitting costs, but I was very uncomfortable with my spare Takumi Bamboo set. I often didn't even take on projects because my fingers and palms ached after knitting with the tension they provided! So I bought them and my cheap side was all OH NO WHAT DID YOU DO!? But as soon as I picked them up for a project, they felt so comfortable. I personally love how sharp and smooth they are. I know some people prefer the rounded ends (so they don't tear the yarn) and the tension on the wooden/bamboo needles to hold the stitches in place, but this arrangement helped my hands sew more evenly/smoothly . The stitches just fell off while knitting (Continental Knitter). No extra tension in my hand from having to push stitches from needle to wire, no pain in my index finger from having to push the needle back or into the yarn. Just smooth sailing. After trying it out, I immediately bought the Mini Chiogoo Set. The famous Chiaogoo wire is now my favorite. It's strong enough to knit two sleeves at once and without twisting! NO REVERSING. Pooh. And their combination of sizes (L) and (S) is simply brilliant. My takumi simply assembled a set of finished stitches on the ends of my needles, which I had to pull up to the wire because the large metal connector holds the small stitches in place. the size of your seams. GENIUS! I didn't even know that this small detail would make a difference, but thanks to it, my knitting speed has increased. (Also, you no longer have to pull the wool and make it look like felt). When you need a set to keep forever, from hat making to sweater making. THIS IS A SENTENCE. I took the advice to stick with 4 inch needles as some say it's a hassle to make hats with longer needles.

Pros
