But thankfully as soon as he (Luger) put the tooth in he realized how upset I would be and moved on to something more chewable.He didn't even leave a rough place.; ▶ Reply to This

I have the whole options set, and they work beautifully. I want to get all of the extra needle tips so that i don't ever have to buy straight needles again :-P

That being said, I have noticed that the screw joins don't hold as well as they should. This has not bothered me to the point where I want to apply super glue, like some other knitters, in fact, it hasn't bothered me much at all. I can feel needle has soon as it starts to unscrew and then fix the problem. I can understand why some people would find this annoying, but I'd rather have to keep reattaching the needle points instead of knitting with awful plastic needles from walmart.; ▶ Reply to This

If it's the screw part, use the little tool that comes with it. Place the tool into the hole in the cable part, and grab hold of the tip with your hand and tighten. I use a little square of plastic shelf liner to hold on to the tip, so it doesn't slide around. I have arthritis in both thumbs, and the piece of shelf liner helps me hold on.; ▶ Reply to This

At my knitting group last Friday, I showed someone how to tighten the connection using the little tool or "key." She said she didn't know what that was for. I also demonstrated the use of the little piece of plastic shelf liner I use to hold on to the tip while tightening and untightening. We have a lot of older ladies--like me--in our knitting group, so it was useful info. --Peggy; ▶ Reply to This

I love mine, but I'm finding that the nickel is wearing a way and they aren't as smooth as they originally were. I haven't even finished one pair of socks yet. Anyone else run into this, or have any suggestions on what do with them?

THANKS!; ▶ Reply to This

I've had mine for over two years, and they all look as good as the day I got them... no nickel wearing away or anything. If I were you I'd contact Customer Service.
