Boye 3421001001 Ergonomic Aluminium Crochet Handle - Multicolour

Felt sticky when first got out of packing, and doesn’t seem too robust. Having said that, the comfort is fine but you have to adjust how you hold your hook. Is easy to use, but can only be used with straight metal hooks as no others fit in, so my favourite hook is no good. Concept is good, but needs a bit of adjusting. Would also be better if the two halves screwed together.

When I first got this I thought it was going to take a while to get used to but it didn't! It's so comfortable! I cam crochet again without my hand hurting! It's a great thing to have!! I also thought the hook might move around and come loose but it's held tight and doesn't move at all! I recommend this to anyone that struggles holding a hook!

This product is absolutely brilliant. I purchased this for my friend and she’s now pain free when crocheting. I would absolutely indorse this product. Works perfectly. The instructions could be a lot clearer is my only gripe.

Product looks and feels cheap. Difficult to navigate with the colours as they do not match the description. Can only use with hooks without rubber handles. The hooks just spin around in the device while using it. A shame as it fits nicely and feels comfortable in my hands just not practical at all.

Aluminium hook holder, not hook holder made of aluminium. Its plastic so nice to hold with grippy green bit. Locking ends together is tricky when hands don't work, so don't change hooks mid 'flare' or get more of these.I've put the grommets on my hooks though the sizes don't match perfectly, have grommets for two larger sizes and none for smaller amurigumi hooks (pic 1). I can use my hooks normally, with grommets in place but have to remove silicone sleeve to fit the holder. If it leaves a gap when closing it, just give it a twist.Overall its impressive and better than 8 wine bottle corks glued together with an elastic band to hold the hook that I used previously.I do NOT think this will work with hooks other than aluminium.I found after some use, the hook spun in the holder. Refund received.

I will start by explaining what i was hopeing for and why: i am left handed and have very small hands so find most crochet hooks are uncomfortable to hold. I was looking for a thick ergonomic hook or handle to use that would stop me from buying new expensive handle hooks every few weeks.After searching online i found the hooks i wanted to try only to realise i cannot get them in the uk. And this was the closest thing i could get. The final push was reading a question on here saying these work with any aluminium crochet hooks i decided to take a chance on it. But in the end its just another gimmick.First things first, the molding on mine is very shoddy and the two pieces dont fit together flush and the indent to slip the two halves together is half covered and difficult to actually close. The washers are rubber so stretch over the thumprint of the hooks and let the hooks twist and wobble as you crochet and actually slide completely through the top and out of the handle when you get any tension on your working yarn. The washers are not labled with their intended hook sizes which just makes thing unnecessarily complicated. Its also very heavy, i wouldnt recommend this to anyone with wrist pain or arthritis as even i stuggled to do one round of 45 single crochet stitches on a 2.5mm size.All in all the only good thing i found was the shape and how it fit in the hand apart from that it doesnt work at all. Its heavy, wobbly the hooks come straight out of the top and mine didnt seem to close propery. The only reason i gave it 2 stars was technically it is ergonomic and felt nice in the hand.

Does the job and an affordable price but it’s disappointing how poorly made it is. The plastic is marked and dented, the edges are scruffy and overhanging and there is pieces of the green that have clearly been caught. This was straight from the box. Again the idea is great and helps my hand but it’s disappointing the quality. It does the job for the moment but will be getting myself one the same style from a different higher quality brand

Love this! My hand has been feeling uncomfortable for a while using needles, cramping up and aching. I've not felt that discomfort with this. The only thing that is annoying me is that the rubber that it is made from picks up the yarn fibers. I also found that using aluminium needles for me are better in it compared to plastic hooks.*updated I've ordered a second one to use because I love it so much, and so I can keep one with other projects that I'm doing
