I wasn't quite sure what to get with the price, but wow, these are amazing! These are beautiful and look sturdy/well made. None of my hooks were bent. No lips, ledges, or imperfections. You've got big and chunky (size 10mm/N/P/15/000) to itty bitty (size 2.00mm/B/1/14) and every size in between. The hooks are the same length as the Boye hook I got from my grandmother with only a minor difference in head shape. Otherwise, they appear to be true to size for a fraction of the price. They also come in a plastic sleeve system that has a flap closure. Each needle, except the last four which are grouped in twos, has their own special pocket made for just their size, making your crochet basket/bin much cleaner, organized and transport a breeze. You don't have to worry about hooking or ripping up a sweater when you shove all of your project in a tote! I definitely recommend these and can't wait to get started on some new projects. If ever I should find a defect or a negative asspect, I'll update my review to include. First impression: Super impressed!
I wanted a set of crochet hooks with ALL sizes. I have a collection, acquired from relatives, sales and thrift stores, but, if there's a pattern that requires that one weird size over my normal stock, this would be useful instead of having to go out and find another hook.
After reading the reviews, I assumed the set had a rough finish. I anticipated going in the garage and looking for the #0000 fine sandpaper to clean up the tools before I went to use the hooks on a project, either because the hooks might snag the yarn, or a metal sliver.
Much to my surprise, the hooks were as finished as a normal Susan Bates Silvalume or Yarnology set.
They aren't as nice as the Clover hooks.
Most of the time, I'm using a G to I hook. The set does NOT have a 3.75mm hook. (F size). If you can live without this fact, you are getting a decent set for the money. It's a great gift for a beginner.
The edges on some are a little rough from the casting, but nothing that some sanding won't fix. I wanted to test larger sizes (>7mm) for a new pattern, so I was happy to find a cheap set of hooks. :)
I have about 10 projects going at one time and always want THE hook I am using to stay with each project. This price, and huge selection of crochet hooks is unbeatable for the price. I would have to pay almost $7.00 for ONE hook at the retail stores. Yes, you may end up with some extras, but you never know....... when they might be JUST the size you need.
Edit: They were very quick to get into contact with me and send a new hook set. I am very pleased. The hooks are great quality and I would buy again
I spent $12 in whole on this set that states has sizes 2mm-10mm. I ordered specifically for the inclusion of the 10mm hook as it is the size i need for the blanket I am crocheting, but instead I have received two 9mm hooks. I am sorely disappointed as not only do I have to buy a 10mm hook, and delay my project getting started once again, but it wasn't as advertised at all.

Such a great set for a great price. I also appreciate the case they come in! It makes it extremely accessible and organized to keep all needles together
These are great! What a great value too! Just what I was looking for.
I needed to make a scarf but the yarn I had on hand was difficult to work with, so I changed yarns, and I still had a hook to work with. a good basic selection and comes with its own roll/case. Thanks.
A full set of crochet hooks at a great price.
Very good. I'm using the 10 mm hook right now to crochet a scarf. Works very well and is comfortable to hold.
