I really didn't need any more interchangeable needles, as I have (many) other sets. But I really like acrylic needles, as they are somewhat "slick" but also "grippy" (if that makes sense). I really like the Zephyrs from KnitPicks, but they don't appear to be offered in a set at this time (but, yes, I do own a set of those ;). I thought I'd give these a whirl, since Knitters Pride makes a quality product. They arrived quickly ( thanks, Amazon Prime, I love you) and I connected a set for a project I was working on. Nice sharp tips with the perfect taper and the nicest cables I think I've ever used. All my tips connected perfectly with the cables (unfortunately, the tip/cable mal-alignment is a not uncommon fault amongst all the different manufacturer's interchangeables that I've purchased). Price here on Amazon was cheaper by a few cents than any of my regular online yarn stores. Didn't notice when I ordered these that they did not include a US size 5 (which is sort of a bummer, since I use 5s more than I use 11s), but it's still a really nice set and I'm glad I bought it. With the fun, funky colors they may very well end up as my go-to favorites.

Like the title suggests, the joints on these interchangeable needles are extremely smooth with little to no catches.
I have needles similar to Boye's Needlemaster Interchangeable needles, and for twice the price of this in the States you can have a large joint that is difficult to get the stitches over.
I've already used them to make a set of arm warmers, and two drawstring bags without any hitches or the cords coming loose. They stay nice and tight until I get the key out to loosen them.
These are by far the best circular needles I have ever owned and the only acrylic set I've seen!

Absolutely LOVE these needles. Only caveat to buyers: add on a set of connectors. I don't know why they are not included in the kit, but you'll want them when you need a 60" cable.
Honest reviews on Knitter's Pride Special Edition Interchangeable Knitting Needle Sets
I got this as a birthday present and its exactly what I wanted. Each needle has its size placed on it to prevent confusion and the bag that it arrives in is spacious enough to hold extra knitting material. I would caution people to screw in the needle into the cable carefully. Very Nice set.

Could not believe the quality for the price, they are a tad pointy for my liking. The joins are solid, cables are plenty flexible. Would buy again.
