Good solid hooks

I like these crochet hooks. The ergo part is just thick enough and unlike some silicone or rubbery handles they don’t get sticky or weirdly hard.

Great Product

I have been crocheting for many years. I started with Susan Bates hooks and don't use any other. I love these ergonomic handles and buy them for myself and my fellow crocheters.

My top pick

I absolutely love these hooks! I have several of each size so that I can keep some with projects. They are very affordable. I have many hooks, many more expensive and various styles. I seem to reach for these comfort grip Susan Bates over and over.

Unbreakable

This was a solution to a travel set of hooks that would be unbreakable.

Split the yarn

I used to use Susan Bates hooks before they were ergonomic until I found ones that were. These hooks, however, split the yarn I'm using while working with it. I don't remember disliking the pointed heads before. Therefore, I am selling these on eBay so I can at least get my purchase price back.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

As someone who is a tight crocheter, a normal tapered hook is like trying to make a butter knife go through wood; it just doesn’t happen. As a baby crocheter I didn’t think there was any other options until I walked into Michaels and found Susan Bates’ pack of Soft Ergonomic Hooks (4.00mm, 5.00mm, 5.50mm, 6.00mm and 6.50mm) and I also picked up an 8.00mm so I’m quite familiar with these hooks, I put down my clovers and picked up these and I don’t regret it, even with their flaws which I will get into later. The Good The best feature that these hooks bring to the table is that of course they are the classic in-line hook, they are sharp, reliable and dependable. For someone who crochets as tight as I do, in-line hooks seem to be a god send when it comes to working on projects. Like the wood and plain edition of these hooks they still follow the same color scheme per size of hook, so 5.50mm is always red/pink, 5.00mm is always blue etc. Depending on how you hold these hooks the slight ergonomic feel after just a standard metal hook is amazing. Unfortunately this is where my ‘Good’ about these hooks end because there is a lot of problems with these hooks. The Bad As someone who crochets in a bow hand, similar to a knife hold there is basically next to no ergonomic feel to these hooks. a very thin ergonomic layer around these hooks and for someone like me I only have 2 fingers, maybe 3 fingers depending on the stitch I’m using or how fast I’m crocheting. For being ergonomic there isn’t much of a difference for people who crochet style is like mine, for the price? I would probably just stick to the regular ones and get the ergonomic handle that you can take on and off because it’ll give you a little more of an ergonomic feel. In this category, Clover and even custom handles rain supreme because there is science backing up the need for ergonomic handles and these susan bates handles don’t feel ergonomic at all. These hooks could definitely use an upgrade in design to make that a little longer so they can find more people's hand styles and definitely need to be thicker in the ergonomic category. The Ugly There isn’t much I have to say in this category about this hook but I do have a slight complaint for being ‘Soft Touch’ they really aren't that soft especially with how short the ergonomic handle is when you barely touch it. It mostly just feels like a soft plastic handle. I was really let down about this ‘soft touch’ feature these hooks say they have. After feeling my Clover hooks and then these, Clover is far softer. I would love to see these hooks upgraded with the black rubber foam or something softer, because like me if you crochet for hours at a time you really don’t want your fingers to hurt when you’re done for the day. I would honestly love to see and upgrade even something like a ‘cloud touch’ new soft coating. I really hope Susan Bates team sees this and passes it along to the team to see if the upgrades are possible for the future, until then if you’re still a die hard Susan Bates Lover like I am PLEASE try the new twist and lock because they are way more and feel like heaven
