This review is from: Boye 3396300DFHJA 4-in-1 Crochet Hook Tool, Blue (Misc.)
I saw these at our local discount store, and purchased this as it would be a great travel item for projects on the go. The “tool” is light enough, and the shape is good to prevent hand fatigue. This contains the popular sizes, and at first, I thought the issue was because I was a left-handed crocheter. More often than not, these “specialty” tools are designed with the use of the right hand only, so the first hook size I tried (F) did not stay in place while trying to work a stitch. The “hooks” don’t lock once they are in the up position, so I naturally assumed it wasn’t designed for lefties. After taking a closer look, I noticed that the hooks that were on the same side pointed in different directions, and they do not lock into position when they are flipped open. For example, F and H are on the same side, but face opposite directions. While I can use H just fine, as the “straight” part is on bottom, and the “flip” part is on top, I am not able to use F on the same side as it is reversed.
I was able to unsnap the housing and saw that the hooks were just connected with a screw on each side. I attempted to reverse the “F” hook so that it faced the same direction. Due to the design, the hook sticks out at a 45 degree angle, making it not useable.
All in all, it is a great idea, and would be a great tool if it worked as intended.

As stated in the previous review, ,the hooks do not lock & I could not find a way to tighten them so that they would stay put once in use. I got both sets & leave them in my glove compartment. I don’t believe that I’m going to use them as much as I had planned.

Tried to use this on a project, but as other reviewers have posted – the hooks do not lock into place. I spend more time trying to manipulate the hooks to stay in place, than I do actually crocheting the project. Awesome idea, but definitely needs revision to make it a better product.
