Tried others, and these are the best yet

Definitely 5 stars on the blank ones; the pink ones are too big. I'm certain I'll be buying a back up set for another pair of black socks. My
plantar fascitus is horrible and these help; i still haven't found a certain fix for it but these black socks allow me to work.

These work much better than many other brands i have tried and returned.  This seems to be the best of the best, in my opinion.

Best I have tried so yet!  They hold pretty well, but will let loose if you try to pull too hard.

The best!  Hard to find in stores now and these are great.

Tried many versions of shirt suspenders (which I now can't live without) and so far these are my favorite.

As mentioned before on other Schmetz needles...these are the best thus far

Got these for biking in the winter. I've been through lots of different brands and models, and these are by far the best.

The single free finger makes them dextrous enough for shifting, braking, locking & unlocking chains, etc. The three joined fingers are very warm. They are wind and water-proof and have a long enough gauntlet to prevent cold wrists. You can tell the Outdoor Research design team put a lot of effort into these and I congratulate them.

They're kinda ugly, and I can't flip the bird at all. Otherwise, these are a best buy.

Bottom-line: serious cold-weather performance without sacrificing dexterity.

I get a lot of headphones to review, and these are the best Bluetooth ear buds so far because:

1) They have the most fit options. There are several sizes of four different fin styles (they vary in stiffness)

2) These have a little choker puck that takes up the slack cord if you want. I'd never noticed that as lacking with other Bluetooth earbuds, but I notice it now, especially when running.

3) The zippered clamshell box provided for storage and carrying is generously sized and even has a small interior pocket for the charging cord.

4) The charging cord is one of those short, flat cords (maybe 4" long) that is impossible to tangle. It's so nice to plug into my laptop without having a long tangle of cords.

5) If you'd rather use a clip to hold down the floppy length of cord between the buds, this set comes with one of those too.

6) Of course these are easy to pair, and the range is adequate for my use (maybe 30 feet line of sight, otherwise 8-15 feet which is typical of battery-powered Bluetooth devices).

Tried a pack of these and a pack of Ultex Jazz III's... both are great. Ultex has a crispness and snap that feels and sounds better to me than nylon, but the grip on these is fantastic. I just keep a pocket full of both on hand.

Gradually replacing another brand that I have been using for the past few years, and these are significantly better. Have already bought 5 of them and will be getting more soon. The deer have left my hosta and daylilies alone, and I can set these to be active days, nights or both. Very useful feature and seem very well made.

I've tried others, but this is the one I always go back to.

I've tried a few different styles of the Almost Naked and Andrew Christian line and these are the best so far.  great comfort, great fit.  Forget that I am wearing them unlike others.

I've had several wrist bands, but these are the best so far. They are thick and absorbent, albeit just a bit too tight for my 7.5" wrists. They are wider than most wrist bands so they work great for long workouts to not only absorb sweat from my arms, but also for swiping my brow. I would highly recommend these.

These are amazing!  I did a lot of research before buying the Staedtler Pigment liners.  I already own a .05 mm Copic multiliner, which I HATE.  It's the nicer version, which is refillable.  It skips, and I can't write or draw with it unless I keep it moving slow, otherwise it skips, like it's running out of ink, even though it's not (has done this since new).  Maybe I got a bum Copic multiliner, but so far, I just hate it.  But the Staedtler?  Smooth as silk, never skips, even when writing as fast as I can.  Doesn't feel scratchy on the paper, even in the smallest size (.05).  Very happy with these pens.

I also love the stand. I wish it was easier to slide the pens back into the stand when using it in the easel position, but it's good enough--they don't need to be perfectly seated in the stand until I'm ready to close it.  The size of the nib is imprinted on the end of the cap, so all the sizes are readily seen when resting in the stand.  I wish they were refillable.  (I know the Faber Castell pitt pens can be refilled--you're not supposed to, but you can--and I wish I knew if I could try it with this pen.  I might take a chance, when they run dry).  I've already bought a second set to have as a back up.

I disagree with other reviewers that the ink is a charcoal color.  It's not the blackest of black, but it's black enough for me.  I wish it was Copic-marker-friendly (this must be alcohol-based pigment, like Copics, because other reviewers have said the ink will run when mixed with Copics).  For now, I'll have to stick with the Copic multiliner when needing to outline around alcohol marker designs.  So far that's the only drawback I see.  If a blacker ink is really important to you, try the Faber Castell Pitt pigment pens.  The black is very dark, but I don't think they run as small as the nibs on this set, and FC doesn't label them the same as other marker companies do (.05mm, .1mm, etc.), which is a pain.  They draw very well (not as impressed with the brush nibs, they skip a bit more than the fine nibs), but there are YouTube videos on how to refill them.

Getting six markers in the nifty case, I feel like this is a great deal.  I'm impressed enough with these Staedtlers that I'm ready to pull the trigger on trying out the Staedtler Ergosoft Watercolor pencils and the Triplus fineliners as soon as I can.
