This hook is not as good as I expected

Given the price of this hook I don't think it's worth it. I don't have to keep pressing on the handle to hold it the whole time while crocheting.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different

I like the set

I received this set as a gift. My handle is made from zebra wood and is fuller making it easier to hold. i love the set It was gifted to me by a 93 year woodworking veteran. The only way to improve this is to offer bigger hooks. My favorite hook size is the J hook, not included

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • No machine gun

Hooks are not the right size.

I bought this hook set with the idea of making a handle later. When I received it I wanted to try it out to see how the stitching looked. I was working on a project with an H/8 hook that fits all the other H/8 hooks I have. The stitches of the new hook are not correct. The looper shank is too big. Since the stitches are based on the shank and not the hook itself, the hooks are not dimensionally accurate.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
