Mikey has a preferred crochet hook that can be found on Amazon, and you will likely be able to see it on various Amazon platforms worldwide. There are two sets of crochet hooks that he has, and he has several sets.
I discovered these hooks in 2019 and switched the preference of the hooks. They are generic hooks found on Amazon. I have been using them for six years, and only one has ever broken in all this time. They are pretty inexpensive on Amazon.
Not only is the rubberized handle well fitting to the hand, but the length of the hook is more extended than typical crochet hooks, so it doesn't jab the inside palm of your hand. They extend past Mikey's hand so he doesn't have interference with the hook on his crochet.
There is also a second set of crochet hooks that Mikey uses for larger sizes that look similar. The hooks go up to 10 mm / N/15. The handles are thicker to accommodate the thickness of the metallic hook.
The lengths are the same distance, so they are comfortable in the hand with the rubber handle and grip.
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.

Good day,
i saw your favorite crochet on amazon and i am wondering if this non expensive set is as good as tulip pink, red or gold or the clover amour hooks ? Thank you very much for your reply. I am looking for a good set and i started after our evening at the MFRC on the base in Greenwood, i just love it so far!
Mikey says
The hooks I show are $15 CDN for the entire set on Amazon. I have seen the hooks you are referring to in upwards of $80 in the stores. I would go to Amazon as your cheapest option if you have that opportunity. - Michael

So refreshing to find an influencer that enjoys an inexpensive crochet hook! These are my favorite as well and because they are so low cost I have enough sets that a hook stays in the bag of each of my WIPs (I only allow myself 5 max at a time). 😊

I having crocheted for more than 42 years and am starting to have issues with some arthritis in my hands and have always used inline hooks (for the past 8 years I have used susan bates bamboo handled crochet hooks). I hold my hooks knife-style.
What hooks (or grip attachment) would you recommend to ease my crochet pain?

I urge you to reach out to your health care provider for advice on how to help you keep your body healthy for stitching.

Mikey -
Thanks for the tip! I looked them up, found a set that includes both the base and bigger hooks, and ordered them. I am really liking the extra length as well!
Thanks again,
Carole

Really appreciate all your left handed tutorials! Found you through Bag O Day’s recommendation. Thank you, Mikey!
Wendy says
I tried these after a previous recommendation by Mikey and I LOVE them. The longer handles are great and the price is fantastic.
Diana says
I found similar ones at Hobby Lobby and absolutely love them, also inexpensive. I wanted the larger sizes but couldn’t find them. When I saw the YouTube video Mikey put out, I ordered them immediately! Thanks Mikey!
Deborah says
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.
Julie Keller says
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.
