I have the Denise set, and don't care for them. I only use them when I haven't got a free needle ...
The Denise set was my first set of circulars when I first started knitting again as an adult. I've had them for 10 years. I never had any problems with them coming apart, although one of the joins broke once. They replaced the cord right away. My Denise issues were with the joins not being smooth; I was knitting lace at the time. They got a lot of play until I learned about the addis circulars. The addis were perfect for me for knitting lace. When the addi clicks came out, I was ecstatic. My Denise set rarely gets used. Only when I need a needle size that I haven't got an addi for, like 10.5 and 10.75. I have multiples of different sizes in the addi circs, outside of my interchangeables. I love the slickness of the metal and the flexible cords. I have bamboo dpns, goodness knows I need all the grip I can get with dpns...

You could just buy one pair of Clover bamboo needles. They run about $10 at JoAnn's and you can a ...
That's true, I could. I had a really long clover circ in US1 that I was going to use to learn magic loop for socks. After I'd had it for years and never used it or learned magic loop, I decided to give it to a friend a few years ago who wanted to learn magic loop to knit socks. So, I never got the feel of it. Now, I'm thinking of getting a 16" and a 24" in US 10 for making a colorwork sweater on chunky yarn. Thank you for your suggestion. If those addi tips could be mixed and matched in different sets, I'd just get some US10 bamboo tips to try them out.
I haven't tried these Addi ones. But I have some super short Hiyahiya 9" circulars. They solved my laddering problem but they made my hands cramp because they are so small. Maybe it gets easier with more practice.
