These are my favorite crochet hooks that I've used so far. They were suggested in the book Creepy Cute Crochet: Zombies, Ninjas, Robots, and More!. At first i bought just a G hook at a local craft store and then decided the get the whole set. My main suggestion for these hooks though is that they come in different colors for each size. I couple of times i picked up the F hook and started working on something that i had previously worked with a G hook. I've also wished that they were a bit longer at times, but that might be because i have big hands.

My right hand is paralyzed and I can use these hooks! I have been using them for 7 years. They are awesome and I really hope they are never discontinued!

Received these as a gift from my boyfriend, and am very pleased! I had wanted this set for a while, and was drawn to the larger handles since small crochet hooks are hard on your hands if you work for hours at a time.

Pros:

-Larger handles make is easier to work for longer periods of time

-Convenient carry case--small enough to fit inside of my standard sized messenger bag, but large enough to find easily at the bottom. Also keeps sizes neatly laid out and easy to find. I like the flap over top to keep the hooks inside the case, as well.

-Clearly marked US and mm sizes (no UK, but that's to be expected)

Cons:

-I do wish the handles were more round--the flattened handles make for easy storage, but do not fit ideally in one's hand.

-Ugly fabric for the case (this is nitpicky and just my opinion, but I thought I'd throw it in)

Overall, I love this set. The larger handles are much kinder to my hands and wrists, though the shape is not perfectly ideal. If you are worried about this, I recommend going to your local craft or yarn store to take a look at the handle shape first. Though, it has not significantly bothered me yet.

Honest reviews on Clover Takumi Getaway Soft Touch Crochet Hooks Gift Set, 8 Sizes

I loved these hooks when I first got them, however I have started an afghan with the barvarian stitch and I can not do the stitch with this hook, the part from the handle to the tip of the hook is too short, I need it to hold 10 stitches of worsted weight yarn, and that is not easy to do. I had to pull out my old standby Boye hooks. For any other type of crochet these hooks are really great, there is something about the shape of the actual hook that make is easier for me to crochet. I have tried many other kinds of hooks, and none have a hook that is a nice as these.

These are lovely hooks, the set is very nice, the case is useful and well-designed. The only minor problem I have with them is their size and weight. The idea behind soft-touch hooks is to make them more comfortable. These are lightly cushioned, as advertised, but they'd be better if the handles were also a bit bigger, more ergonomic, to go along with the cushioning.
