GENERAL MIS SIZES

I needed a 9mm hook in particular. It should have been 6mm, 6.50mm, 9mm. I have 5.75, 6.50, 10mm. Very disappointed as I've been looking for a 9mm Boye hook for so long.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Disappointed: Hook

Let me upfront by saying Boye hooks are my favorite and they aren't terrible. One of the three disappointed me the most. This is the second set of these hooks I have purchased and I was disappointed to find that all hooks have very blunt points and the N hook was 10mm vs 9mm. They must be of the same brand, so this discrepancy confuses me. The hooks are still usable, not worth sending back so they will be used as replacement hooks or donated.

Pros
  • Pleased
Cons
  • Factor Set

Not as specified

Not as advertised. I specifically ordered this "old version" because the "N" hook was shown and described as an old 9mm hook. I needed a 9mm hook and prefer this brand. Extremely disappointed. As a disabled person, it is not easy for me to return. To edit. I have determined that this is a non-returnable item. So I had to call Revane. But the size does not match the description. Please update Revain if you have changed this.

Pros
  • With rounded heads to prevent fraying or breaking of threads.
Cons
  • weak

I've Always Loved Boye Hooks

However, I've always liked Boye hooks. The hooks received do not match the description. If you zoom in on the image above, the dimensions on the box actually don't match the description. The template I use calls for a Boye N 9mm and I thought I'd buy that; What I received is marked N 10 mm. It may not seem like a huge difference, but the stacking changes the overall result! Very unfortunate that I have to rip out my project and start over!

Pros
  • Perfect for beginners, this set of metal hooks is the perfect way to learn to crochet!
Cons
  • High price

but hook K is useless - it has a slit in the middle.

Very dissatisfied with the quality of these hooks. I was replacing a J hook that wasn't in my Boye set and also wanted an N hook. The J hook is definitely not the same quality as my original set but at least it will work, the N hook will also work, but the K-hook is useless - it has a slit in the middle of the hook and sticks to every stitch. . Don't send it back, the two hooks I need are at least workable, but I won't be buying any more Boye products.

Pros
  • Includes J (6mm), K (6.5mm) and N (8mm).
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
