SPMKTQK Safety Eye Tool, Safety Eye Auxiliary Tool for Amigurumi, Safety Eyes Crochet Tools for Amgurumi Crochet & Stuffed, 5-30mm Animal Eyes Making Supplies Tool (Blue)

I love making toys. My (adult) kids get amigurumi toys in their stockings every year, and I often make them for friends as well. I'd be happy if I could do nothing but sit and crochet critters all day. However, a few years ago, I was hit bya malady that caused weak, painful joints, including my hands. I used to be able to get those safety eyes into the toy with no problem at all. Now? The last toy I made without this tool, I actually had to put the head in my mouth and use my teeth (not recommended!) because I couldn't find a tool in the house that gripped the eye well enough to attach the backing. Ugh!When I spotted these safety eye tools, it was like an answer to a little toy-maker's prayer. The tool was a bit fidgety to get just in the right position, but once it was lined up, a gentle squeeze of the handle did the trick. I didn't even have to squeeze hard. It was so easy.Although the tool is made of plastic, it seems to be fairly durable. I'm sure a few (or a few hundred 😉) toys worth of use will tell whether it holds up well or not. If I see any problems down the line, I'll come back and edit this review.

I am very new to amigurumi crochet and was having a hard time getting the safety eyes attached securely. This device makes it so simple. It is easy to line up, squeeze together - safety eyes secure. Works for multiple sizes. I am so glad I gave this product a try!

Works well. Feels like it might snap if you squeeze too hard, but it does press easily and makes a tight connection.

Works very well putting on safety eyes!

This simply didn't work for me. It didn't push the pieces together, pretty cheap junk. Not worth returning.

But easy enough to figure out! A lot bigger than I thought it would be so it seems like this would make it easier to grip. I just wish there were instructions!

I love this! My fingers no longer hurt from trying to put safety eyes on my crocheted projects. Very easy to use. Great price. I would buy this again. It is durable, and can use multiple sizes of eyes. Great functionality.

Makes adding eyes to crocheted babies very easy. Saves your fingers
