30mm Doll Joints/Animal Joints/Bear Joints/Safety Joints - White - 4 Sets x 2

Good product for making of bears

First of all, the fittings are too tight for the joints. Even with tools and with heating the fitting in hot water, it was impossible to assemble. Manually gouging the holes on the fittings to be a bit bigger let the safety washer fit (but not sure if this is actually "safe" in the long-run). The second problem is that even with this McGyvering to assemble, I quickly found out that these joints are useless for assembling crocheted pieces (at least with worsted weight yarn). There shafts are too short and there aren't enough notches on them to control the fit. Even at the widest fit, it was too tight and the joint did not freely move. In the end, I had to undo several days of crocheting in order to remove these terrible joints. So much wasted time and effort! However, I am giving these a star because the seller was quick to refund the purchase.

Poor fit had to drill out the attachment price to make them fit.

The hole on the lock washer is too small to fit the shaft through. ended up using a dremmel to widen the whole so i could still use them. If i didn't have a dremmel, they would have been completely useless as the plastic is too hard to cut with scissors or shave off with an exacto blade.

The lock washer is too small. It won't fit the shaft of the joint. Useless. Also, the shaft is very big around. The 30, 35, and 45mm all have the same washers and shafts. Just too thick.
