Boye 3421001001 Ergonomic Aluminium Crochet Handle - Multicolour

I'm new to crocheting and have become an addict over the last few months. Having spent hours on end crocheting I found that my hand and wrist were beginning to feel a little uncomfortable. This nifty gadget is really great it's a lot easier to grip than a thin crochet hook and seems to prevent my wrist from aching. I'm not convinced that it will last very long as it is a little stiff to open and close when changing hooks and I think the inside of the plastic might wear out fairly quickly if you need to change hooks frequently. Nevertheless I think it's great and I'll be buying another one to keep in reserve.

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!

Its not bad but as you twist it to open the little part that clicks in to hold it in place got worn out.

This is my wife's review:- At first I thought the silicon bits looked a tad rough and unfinished. After I tried a few crochet hooks I can see that this gadget is going to be very useful indeed. I didn't have any problem with the pencil grip I favour. I tried a knife grip and that's good too. I'll save a lot of money not having to buy expensive hooks with fixed on handles. The markings on the coloured attachments could be clearer but that's a minor issue. All in all I'm very pleased with this gadget. Changed to 4* as a 2.5mm crochet hook wobbles about in use. So I'd say 3mm is the smallest gauge hook you can use. Otherwise still ok been using all day.

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.

I bought this hoping to help with the pains in my thumbs!!.. wow what a waste of money!! They don’t even hold your hook, rubbish. I have crochet for years and this is the worse item I have ever spent my money on. I don’t normally give 1 star but I would have give a - star if it was available.

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

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.

Se usa fácil y si se siente bien el mango

Ottimo acquisto! Il manico è leggermente gommoso perciò non scivola e non richiede alcuna fatica per impugnarlo. Servono un paio di minuti di "pratica" per farci la mano, ma l'uso è intuitivo e l'impugnatura confirtevole. Lo utizzo anche con uncinetti più piccoli inspessendo il tratto finale con del nastro adesivo per adattarlo al foro di uscita . L'utiluzzo di questo manico ergonomico consente di tenere la mano più distesa con conseguente eliminazione di dolore o crampi, specie per chi, come me, ha gli uncinetti della nonna! Consigliatissimo!!!

If you have the old style thin crochet hooks but find they are hard to hold, esp if you have arthritis - this will save your hands! The plain straight hooks fit into the holder and make it so much more comfortable. A really great item to have in your crochet stash!

I wore out my first handle after many years of use. I purchased another because I could not do without this handle. It is absolutely wonderful in my hands. I have had the hook spin on me so I used a different sized ring and it stopped spinning. I totally recommend this as it keeps my hand from getting the crochet claw. it is the most ergonomic handle for me and I have tried many other hooks. This system also hold up to a high torque-- I have ruined other handles by bending the hook or the handle seporates from the hook and this is the only unit that has held up to everything I throw at it (working with cotton making dishcloths has ruined all other hooks and handles but this one) I must add that the hook had broken through the bottom of this handle but I tape it with electrical tape and it holds good. That happened with my first handle as well but it is still 5 stars for me. Love this product and will purchase again when necessary. DON"T LOSE YOUR RINGS!! Keep them in a safe place or keep them on your various sized hooks because you can't replace just the rings

Good product, but overpriced. Hence 4*
