I LOVE THESE NEEDLES!!! This is my first set of needles so maybe I'm missing something but for me these are absolutely perfect. They come in a great variety of sizes and are super easy to snap on and off the cords included while almost never falling off (this happened once to me while I was fiddling with a weird stitch. But only once in almost a year of near daily use). The cords also come in a nice variety of lengths so you can easily choose the right size for your project. I especially like that you can take a pair of needles off an unfinished project to use on another one without compromising the first one.
The case they come in is pretty durable and I've taken it with me lots of places with no issues. The fact that they are circular needles means it is much harder to lose one needle and much easier to transport anywhere without a fuss. They are plastic and pretty blunt as well so I'm not worried about them stabbing through bags or anything.
When I bought them I think it came out to like 5-8 dollars per pair of needles, not including the cords and the little extras it came with. I think that's an absolutely fair price. I am an avid knitter and use these almost daily and have barely had any problems.
The only problems I've had with this are that the smallest pair of needles bends a little bit if you're knitting very tightly, and if you twist your work around just right the needle may twist off the cord. It's very very easy to overlook these problems though. I had to think very hard to remember if I had actually had any problems with these.
I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants a set of versatile, easy to use, and easy to transport knitting needles. This is a nice big set of great needles and cords that could easily have you set for life. These are absolutely worth buying, especially if you want to knock out getting a bunch of different sizes in one go. The kind that I got is all different colors (which I prefer) but you can get ones that are all the same color as well.

AMAZING performance, versatility, and value!
Let me begin by saying I LOVE THESE Crochet Hooks! I have been crocheting for about 2 years now. I typically use Crochet Armour Hooks for my projects. However, I recently stumbled upon Tunisian crochet and wanted to learn. In my research, I had found the long metal Tunisian hooks, and interchangeable varieties such as the Clover Takumi, Love2Crochet (also made by Denise), as well as generic varieties. I tried two different varieties before my husband surprised me with this particular set.Due to my love of Clover Armour hooks, I bought one 8.0mm Takumi to see if I even liked Tunisian crochet at all (spoiler alert: I LOVE IT! So much easier than knitting - for me at least - and the look is similar). But to do that, I had to separately buy the hook, the extender cord, and the stoppers - putting me at an initial dip-my-toe-in-the water investment of about $21 (Almost half the cost of the Denise set, but a fraction of the cost of the Takumi set, which runs for around $80). I really enjoy Tunisian crochet and the beautiful stitches the method creates, but I really did not like the Takumi hook for a number of reasons: the bamboo hook constantly caught on my yarn, I didn't like that the extender cord was so flimsy, and finally, the cost for a set...YIKES. My Armour crochet hooks did NOT set me back that far.I then tried a set of generic metal Tunisian hooks, and while I liked the surface tension, I wanted a little more flexibility in the extended portion of the hook - essentially opposite problem of the Takumi hook. That set was only $9, so I didn't have the "ugh..." feeling of buying the Takumi and hating it.After watching a TL Yarn Crafts Youtube video praising the Denise brand hooks, I sent the link to the Denise Interchangeable brights set to my husband as a Mother's Day gift idea for when I "got better and more comfortable" at Tunisian Crochet. He surprised me with the set, and I have to set, they 200% live up the hype. They're lightweight, but not too lightweight. They do not catch on yarn, and the extenders are the PERFECT balance of pliable but not too pliable. Most importantly, in my two days of ownership (and I've barely stopped crocheting) I have NOT experienced any fatigue or pain. I love the versatility, the performance, and the value. I sincerely wish I had bought these first!If you're on the fence, don't be. The investment is absolutely worth it.
