WATCH OUT Hirose hook for singer 18-2 , singer 18-3 etc

[pierre2171]

i wnated to show the difference between 2 Hirsoe hooks, one i bought from colege sewing, and 2 others i bought at Kelen enterprise on alibaba, the 2 i received from kelen were good to break my neck 4 hours, its does not work in any of my singer 18 and i have a lot of them.

guys watch out when you buy "Japanese" sometimes its a real bummer, do not trsut them i send a request i think i will be ignore too, i spent less than 200 euros of these last 2 hooks to get my neck broken 4 hours trying, i have other iamges if you wnat see ther mess on the parts, the flat aera on kelen is much smaller and the diagonal cut too, an horror compare to the other hook, but both Hirose, i also receievd denim from japan totally damaged by water leaks, the japanese integrity is gone. 

 

image 1-2 is college sewing hirose, larger flat aera and smaller diagonal cut. works perfect!!

image 3-4 is kelen Hirose,  smaller flat aera and larger cut, works horrible, a nightmare to break your neck

 

now kelen enterprise is freaking out with the stock he got from HIrose and he can!!

Unusual for Hirose to be off!  Make very good aftermarket hooks.
