Here is a photo of the working process of knitting with this crochet hook.

Opinions on the effectiveness of such a hook differ. Some consider the reversible (semi-automatic) hook an effective tool. Some treat it as an unnecessary toy, preferring to knit reinforcement with a regular hook.

In my opinion, working with a reversible hook is very simple. You pull it towards yourself, and the wire starts twisting. Both a child and a woman can handle it.

I knit reinforcement only with a semi-automatic device. Fast, high-quality architect data convenient. I was not interested in a regular hook.

And I bought both a regular hook and a reversible one. I tried both, and I didn't like the semiautomatic one at all. I knitted everything with a regular one.

Opinions are divided. According to alex_k11, if you choose a reversible hook, then buy only the right one - with a two-way groove of the working mechanism. The market offers cheaper and lower-quality semi-automatic hooks with a single-way screw notch. Such hooks jerk when twisting, and they tear the wire.

For clarity, we have attached a photo of a “correct” and “incorrect” reversible hook.
