These are just your standard Made in China needle threaders, like the ones you find in every pre-packaged sewing kit in America, and I'm sure elsewhere. Some reviewers complained about breakage, although I can honestly say that, until today, I have NEVER had one break and I've sewn for decades.

What I do have a problem with, however, is losing them. I can never hang onto one longer than the current sewing project! So, when the opportunity came up to buy 100 of them for $1.98, I pounced! Shipping is free and they can take several weeks to arrive in the mail, because they do come from China. I kept a handful of them for myself and gave the rest to my daughter, whose sons are in Scouts and sew on their own patches. I figure she'll have more than enough to share with her friends! I had a more expensive one for a while (wooden, with an attached wire) and eventually threw it out because it was so awkward and difficult to use. Although they are not the same quality as the ones I've previously owned, you can't go wrong with these. If you don't like them, just give them away!

You have what you paid for. The quality is very low. It is very hard to pull two strands of embroidery floss through 26 tapestry needle. The wire part is connected to a handle with only 1 row of holes - so when you are trying to pull a thread the wire easily gets out from a handle and stays at needle together with thread. I need to hold my fingers at the place where wires are connect, so they won't be pulled out.
I am not going to buy these again.
And yes, they are coming directly from "mother" China, so you will have to wait on them quiet a while.

I have decided these are all made in the same place by mischievous elves who giggle at the frustration of how easily all of them break. The nature of the product makes you roll your eyes. The fact someone is selling them in sets of 100 is genius. I don't use them... but my kid has started to learn to sew. She's in first grade, so these should last her for one to two projects if she's lucky. Then, she will just call me over to thread her needles until her hand/eye coordination develops more.

I love needle threaders because I do some type of hand sewing every day. I do cross stitch, fine embroidery, quilting, and I hand sew the seams in my handmade clothing. That means I use a wide variety of needles, many of which have tiny eyes and are very hard to thread. Therefore, I rely on needle threaders. But, they can be very hard to find in retail stores in packs of just needle threaders. They are most often enclosed in thread assortments or small seeing kits. I don't want to buy a thread assortment every time I break my needle threader and need a new one. This huge pack of threaders solves my problem and they are so inexpensive! If I break one I have a replacement easily at hand.

These are packaged nicely with the threaders bundled into 2 packs of 50, rubber banded together (exactly like the photo). It's easy to slide out one or more as needed.

These are extremely reasonably priced, well packaged, and of fairly good quality. The wires do pull out easily as mentioned by a number of other reviewers. Simply pinch down on the raised area where the wires go through the backing and they will hold much better.

These are an awesome value and I don't understand anyone complaining if they break easily. This pack of 100 costs less than a 2-pack at a retail store. They're simply an awesome value for a nice product.

They also arrived before the earliest estimated delivery date, which was a nice surprise. I ordered a second set so I could have one set in my sewing box and one set by my sewing machine. A lifetime supply for pocket change.

Ok I have become quite an authority on threaders over the years! I love hand sewing but as I get older threading has become more of a problem. Though they break easily this style of threaders is the best. Saying that, this brand is the lowest quality. they are also way cheaper. The best are the ones made in Japan. They are the heaviest gauge metal and the wire is secured twice. On amazon they are referred to as vintage threaders. They have the profile of delicate woman. The second best is the is the Dritz. They are made in china are a lighter gauge metal and are secured twice. This Refaxi brand are light metal and the wire is secured only once. They break easily. BUt they are soooo much cheaper. The others are close to a dollar each, where as these are $1.50 for 100! It's a no brainer. They take weeks to come but what a deal. At 15¢ it's the way to go. Remember that whichever brand you buy they are delicate and not intended for heavy threads or yarns.
