KnitProKnitPro SmartStix Interchangeable Needle Tip Special Set - 1 Unit

I purchased this set after purchasing the longer tips set ( Zing) so I could have both, giving me more options & versatility.Firstly I have to say neither of the 50cm cords screw into any of these needles. I had the same issue with one of the cables in the longer tips set too.Secondly, is the case. It's so clumsy & impractical.It's designed like a clutch bag. You open the clasp & immediately see the accessories section at the top, like you would see the 'purse' section in a clutch bag, all good right? No! The accessories section is upside down with the opening on the bottom!!.. Imagine if your little zipped purse inside your clutch bag had the zipper on the bottom , so when you unzipped it, all your money fell into your bag. This is what this needle case does. All your wires, keys, stitch markers, etc fall out when you unpop the poppers. So I tried turning the clutch case upside down to open the accessories bit, but due to the nature of the stiff ' folds' in the case, & me trying to hold it upright so I can open it without losing my accessories in the process, it flipped the needles section forward on itself, because it doesn't want to be in that position. The result was everything expelled across the floor!It is SO badly designed, I don't know how it got past the initial drawings.It's also a cheap 1970's white plastic look, with bits of cellophane refusing to leave the rim around the ' window section. I could live with that if it was functional. Their pics show it sat up in a standing position, like an ipad case or similar. It does NOT do that. Again, think of a clutch bag , it just wants to act the same way, by folding inward to close position.Thirdly , they drag. I was so surprised as my Zing set do not, they are smooth & fast. These tips however are cut & sectioned at intervals to accommodate the silver/colour changes in the needle & you can feel the joins. So very disappointed!I'm returning them.

My husband ordered this set of short interchangeable needles online for me as a birthday present. I was so delighted and looked forward to get it by my birthday. There was no problem with delivery, received everything on time but I found out that some of the tips were defective and I do not think this is the way the brand new things suppose to look like unfortunately. And the case... so, I think it could be better. Please find pictures attached.

I've never used circular needles before and I was a bit dubious.But these are amazing and so easy to use.

Very nice to use but I think they are too expensive...it majes me feel bad to use them and know that they cost so much...i think some can be cheaper an still be nice to use... Othervise good product

Like them very much !
