I've been crocheting for 3 years. I've tried from the inexpensive hooks, Boye, Susan Bates, to the middle range Crochet Guy, to the more expensive Addi, passing through bamboo, rosewood, and other sophisticated wooden hooks. Nothing compares to the easiness of crocheting with Clover Amour hooks. For about a year I been using exclusively the Amour aluminum hooks in the only available sizes they had, No. 2.25 to No. 6 being the largest. When I saw they now had sizes 6.5 to 10 for thicker yarns I wanted to try one first before purchasing a set. I made the decision to buy the elusive, in the US market, No. 7. I was not sure what to expect because the hook was made of plastic instead of its aluminum smaller counterparts, but I was not disappointed, in fact, a week later I ordered sizes 6.5, 8, 9 and 10. To me, the Amour hooks are the most comfortable, smooth, perfect shaped hooks in the market. I only crochet with yarn so I have not tried the smaller steel Amour hooks.
I have 4 other 8mm L hooks and this one is by far the best. It is lightweight, smooth and perfectly pointy for all projects. Im using with a double strand worsted weight and some hooks spilt the double strand, but this one does not. I couple metal hooks i have are super heavy and it is hard on my hards to crochet thick yarn and tight stitches. Im throwing out all of my other 8mm hooks.
This is lightweight and awesome. Buy it is you like light hooks and need a big 8mm. Lightweight is definitely key when using heavy/thick yarn.
Buy it, you wont be disappointed. Take it from someone who crochets for hours everyday to keep up with my etsy store orders.
I purchased the 0.60 size and it is fantastic! Very sturdy, and easy to use. Perfect for dreading hair! Highly recommended.
I've crocheted for over 40 years but the last few years my arthritis has been giving me fits. I have been trying different brands of hooks with the attached padded handle. While I love the Tulip Etimo in sizes D-K, their STEEL crochet hooks don't fit my needs. The padded handle is just not big/thick enough. So I wanted to try this Clover Amour Steel Crochet Hook to see if it would work for my achy hands. It does. I can't decide which I like better this clover amour or the clover soft touch. The amour is softer but the soft touch helps me as well. What I would really like to have is a Susan Bates inline head with the clover amour cushioned handle. Susan Bates makes hooks with bamboo handles but those are absolutely the worst for me (a pencil hold crocheter), the bamboo is heavy and does not fit the way I crochet at all. Most of my review is comparing to other brands so sorry. I do like this hook, just wishing for one with a Susan Bates in-line head and a similar cushion.
I recently tried the Amour line and immediately fell in love with these hooks. They are so comfortable to use and the yarn glides over them. I was nervous about this one, since the larger hooks are plastic and not metal. It works just as well as the metal hooks and it is super light. I have been making many scarves with this hook and I am super happy with it!

I haven't crocheted for that long...I have much to learn. I thought I was a really bad crocheter, turns out I had bad tools! These things are amazing! So smooth. It just glides through the yarn...ANY yarn. I have renewed enthusiasm and I will only use this type hook.
I've been replacing all my hooks with the ergonomic styled ones. Even though I have no hand issues, these are WAY more comfy than the old styles. This one is by far the best style of them I think. I've bought the other clover style

I like this one much more. Don't even notice I'm crocheting, my hands don't get tired as quickly. Highly recommend.
I like this hook. It's very light, and the pad is a good shape. The tip of the hook is sharp enough to go through the yarn without forcing, so my thumb is no longer sore from forcing the point through and then stopping it with the side of my finger before it pokes someone's eye out. I would give another half star if allowed, but I'm not. So...4 stars because almost $5-6 for a single hook is ree-diculous. But I had to see what all the hype was about and I'm not sending it back! :)
Great size for amigurumi projects using caron simply soft, or a similar weight yarn. (I don't work for any yarn or craft companies, so I'm not biased--just want to let you know what works best for me!)
I searched for quite some time for an ergonomic, tendonitis friendly hook that fit me. I finally found the perfect one for me. I hold my hook like a knife as some say. The neck of the hook is not too short (just right) and the handle fits in my hand nicely. It is not too bulky or cumbersome. I will be investing in a whole set. My only complaint is that they don't make them in K, L, & M! Don't hesitate on getting this. You won't be sorry! :)
Love it! Had read so many good things about these hooks. Thought I'd better try with just one before purchasing an entire set. You do need to watch the mm rather than the size rating, but that's true even moving between Boyd & Susan Bates & other brands anyway. I always go by mm. With my #20 crochet cotton, I'm making a lovely tablecloth, and it does not drop loops like my previous hook and GOES THROUGH ALL THE LOOPS ON THE HOOK IN ONE PASS almost every single try. So smooth and so easy to use.
