I bought this kit from Aliexpress. I’m not very picky about my needles, but I do have have the Chiaogoo red ones. I wanted a set to travel with and these seem good so far, which is kind of surprising.

Price $38.38 Canadian

3-8mm needles

Just in case anyone’s in the market for some needles.

They’re relatively solid, but on the cheaper side for sure. Do I think they could withstand being sat on - no. 😂

From what I've seen of interchangeable sets, these don't look bad! Not a bad join at least. Are the needles fairly solid?

I bent a pair of hiyahiya sharps accidentally sitting on them lol. Luckily it worked out bending it back with just a slight crease.
