I needed a set of steel crochet hooks, and this one seemed like a good choice. Most sizes are included, and it came with a case. I like to keep my tools organized, so the case part really appealed to me. Fast forward to delivery time. The hooks are great, not too sharp and not too round, I haven't had problems with splitting thread with these little tools. The case! What the _____? I don't see how it is useful or practical. There is a giant trifold nylon covered cardboard thing that has a weird cord threaded through it. It is probably ten times the size it needs to be to hold a few hooks. Maybe it's a guy thing. I ordered Clover Getaway Case for Crochet Hooks to house the hooks and threw away the one that came with this set.

Bought this for my wife to fill in some blanks in her crochet hook collection. She needed the small ones that seem to walk away more easily than the larger, plastics. I thought I was doing a good job, until they arrived. As far as we are both concerned, the crochet dude can keep his what-ever-it-is-called, but you sure don't want it around to hold hooks. She moved the hooks into her home-made rollup with the others and tucked all of them into half the space. She said she couldn't understand how to fold the thing up for storage -it appeared the string to wrap didn't actually wrap. It was so cheaply made that the plastic sleeve tore as the paper was being pulled off.Suggestion -toss the holder, keep the hooks. They appear to be the quality she required. Oh, basically, she wanted this to balance an order. These were just under the shipping price on another item. Adding these, we get free shipping, she gets her crochet hooks and the dumpster gets the crochet dude. Not a bad deal, but not a great one, either.
