I'm only giving this 4 stars because I haven't really used it much yet because I haven't worked with thread in a bit.

there are no plastic parts. If you like working with thread but have a hard time handling the tiny hooks this could be your answer. The handle is a G size and the ends fit on and you screw a cover over them to hold them in place. This is the full range of steel hooks.

It comes in a very nice case with heavy protective foam that the hook ends fit into individually along with the handle. The case zippers closed and has a strap for holding on to. The individual hook ends are numbered but it is hard to see so don't let them loose their space in the case. Also the cap that holds the ends to the handle is removable and not large at all so could be easy to loose.

*Want to add an update. I have used this set extensively and really enjoy it. the coupler that holds the ends in does loosen up frequently but my finger is right there and it's easy for me to quick tighten it as I work. It would be nice if this had a sort of small gasket to help hold the coupler on but I still really enjoy using this set.

It is a very clever idea one handle with replaceable heads however it does not have a good mechanism. The heads have to be screwed in, and no matter how tightly I screwed them in, they would always come undone while I was working on a project. The hook heads themselves are fantastic, but every 3 minutes I would have to stop and re-tighten the head onto the handle. I have sent the company an email almost a year ago now, and I still have not received a response from them. I ended up buying regular crochet hooks I feel as though I just wasted money on this product. I'm very disappointed with the product and the poor customer care.

P.S it seems like the best reviews are a result of the amount of hooks in the set and not how well they function.

I love this set. But as others have mentioned the screw mechanism does untighten over time. I have found if you cut a small piece of doily thread and insert it around the handle where the screw mechanism screws to the handle so the thread is under the screw mechanism and then tighten the screw down normally with the thread inside between the handle and the screw pin this keeps the screw from untightening. I hope everyone understands what I mean. The small amount of thread must be held in place between the screw mechanism and the handle mine usually lies inside the grooves of the handle where the screw mechanism is screwed down. This holds the screw in place and you don't have to continue to tighten it every few minutes.

Honest reviews on Boye Interchangeable Head Crochet Hook Set

This is a great item if you know someone who is serious about crochet. First of all, it has the hooks that are very hard to find on an individual basis. If you are into making doilies or doing any kind of thread crochet, this is definately the set for you. I got it here on Amazon at a great price. I saw the same set at Joann's Fabrics for $30. I got it here for half that price and it has been worth every penny.

I very much like the look of the hooks and carrying casebut, I totally should have paid attention to the hook sizes, they are for thread and not yarn.
