Generic Self-Threading Needle Set Wood Storage Box

I was very much looking forward to receiving this kit, as I have poor sight and threading any normal needle is very difficult to me. The wooden container is just wonderful; good looking and very roomy, so I can store other needles inside with the ones in the set. It has a screw top that keeps everything locked. So, that's wonderful. The issue is the needles themselves are described as having large eye, and that's not the case at all. They're self-treading, for sure, but they are so small (both the body and the eye) that getting them to self-thread is as difficult to me like normal ones, like it defeats the purpose I bought it for. If the needles were a bit larger in size, this would be the perfect set for me, but that's not the case.

Clover Jumbo Chibi Darning Needle Set, Golden

I love these two needles, which I use to finish crochet ends, sew two crochet pieces together and also to wave stitching as the needles point is round, not pointy, and it's safe for the latter. For the rest, the needles are quite large but also very light. I've used them with thick crochet thread and also with yarn. I've also tried to use them on thick watercolor paper, but they were not good for that, unless I'm doing weaving stitching. These are mending needles but I think I use them just for yarn and woolen stuff. I love the container. I keep in it not only these two needless, but also most of my large needles; the container has a screw crap, which keeps all safely stored.
