Very soft to the touch and ergonomic, these hooks are great value for money. The different colors allow to quickly identify the size of the hook. The size of the hook is engraved on the caoutchou, which is handy because it will not fade, unlike anything registered. The caoutchou is not always cut (but that's really not much). The handle has flat sides which allows to know the meaning of hooks (if you have a round tip hook, it tends to turn and can not realize the touch). What I also appreciate is a hook 2mm size, do not be a tiny wrist, it is rather comfortable for the hand. The son glides well with the hook without being too slippery. Adopted! :)
