Nothing worse than when your down to your last needle and the eye snaps an inch from finishing!

My needles arrived in the post this morning, very good going. The needles seem to be of excellent quality, and are quite weighty, well pleased. Thanks for the heads up Mary.
I did say they were big and strong 
To be honest this size and strength is such that if I were making up hussifs I'd put two to three into them, but breaking up a pack to share wouldn't work among us because of the postages. I reckoned they weren't expensive and if folks wanted to split with folks they camp with, it'd be easier.
Requests for specific sizes and intended uses ? Let me know and I'll keep my eyes open. I know that some of you are looking for big eyes, so that's already on my radar.

Big thanks Toddy. Great needles. Yep a heads up on leather work needles for waxed tread. I think these will actually work, but round point and slightly bigger eye would be a great addition too. :You_Rock_

Mine arrived today. Very nice needles indeed, should be great working with leather.
I took a couple of photos:
No question I'm replacing the needle in my emergency repair kit with a couple of these.
