I received these free to do as a review and I am happy I did because my mom loves to crochet and she is always saying how she can not stand the metal and plastic ones they always slip out of her hand or just do not work well or they leave indents on her fingers, she can not crochet for long periods at a time she always has to take a break because of them problems so when I got these to review she was the first person I thought of. I brought them to her and she was skeptical at first but I left them with her and after a few days she calls me and says " can you get me some more of these they are great" I was like yes mom I will get you some more soon as I am able. She says she can crochet for hours at a time now because the crochet hooks do not slip out of her hand and they do not leave indents in her fingers she also like the color variety of them. I highly recommend these if you are big into Crocheting they would also make a wonderful gift for your family and friends that l
