Susan Bates Soft Ergonomic Crochet Hook Set vs Tulip ETIMO Red Crochet Hook Set
Buy the Susan Bates Soft set if you want a full range of common US sizes and a familiar in-line head. Buy the Tulip ETIMO Red set if comfort and a smooth, precise hook matter more than size range. The Susan Bates hooks are lightweight aluminum with soft grips and an in-line head that many crocheters find reduces splitting. The ETIMO Red hooks have a cushion-grip handle, a matte finish that cuts glare, and a slim tapered tip; owners and reviewers consistently rate the grip and finish above basic sets. The trade-off is size coverage: ETIMO Red tops out at H-8 and uses Japanese sizing, while Susan Bates runs to K-10.5.
- Choose the Susan Bates Soft set if you need US sizes through K, want an in-line head, or are building a first full set.
- Choose the ETIMO Red set if you crochet for long sessions and want the cushioned grip, smooth tip and included case.
