Mikey has a preferred crochet hook that can be found on Amazon Canada, and you will most likely be able to see it on different Amazon platforms around the globe. These hooks are provided in a set of 9 hooks.
The colouring you see is rubberized, so it's comfortable for the hand, but there is a strong feature that is why they are Mikey's favourite hooks of all. It's all about the length of the hook.
These hooks are slightly longer than average crochet hooks. From the tip to the end of the handle, they are 6.5" long. Typical hooks are generally 5.5" long. The extra inch provides relief from an issue Mikey has. The length of these hooks extends past the palm and out the other side of the hand; therefore, the back of the handle doesn't jab or rest at the palm to create friction, which can lead to sores or irritation of the hook hitting the palm of the hand.
The moulded tips are a plus for Mikey as it's challenging to separate plies of yarn. In all of the years of using these, Mikey has only broken one, which is superb.
We don't use affiliate linkages here for Amazon, but if you look up ergonomic hooks on Amazon, you will most likely see these listed. They are pretty cheap compared to other ergonomic hooks out there, and he orders several kits simultaneously. If you lose a hook, a sin unto itself, it's not a lot of dollars lost between a sofa cushion, etc.

I have 3 sets of these. They're the best hooks I've used.... however, I bought a tool to etch the hook size into them, as the printing wore off.

I just got these hooks I ordered them around Christmas and I love them much lighter and easier to use. I wish they done these in a K and a J hook.

I've used these books for several years. Hobby Lobby hooks and they are great.
