I bought these because they were priced at only $4.67. At this price, these were good a buy, but these are not any different from the ones available at Walmart for about $5. Now 1 week later, they are priced at over $10 on Amazon. At that price, I'd say they are no longer a good buy.Follow up: After some use, I find a design flaw in these hooks. The top part where the rollers are is simply not curved enough to sit well on the rod. Consequently, the hooks have a tendency to turn upside down. They never line up straight on the rod.
Installing these requires pulling the ring open enough to get it over the rod. It's thin, brittle metal, and I managed to destroy one in the process using very little force. Because there are no spares in the kit, that meant living with one detached eyelet. I also managed to pick up a few metal splinters from the unfinished tips where the two ends dovetail together when closed.
Once installed, they move very nicely, and are reasonably attractive, if a bit thin. But the splinters and the fragile unit breaking make these two star for me.
