This is what Knitters Review had to say about these needles. http://knittersreview.com
Square knitting needles are marketed as being more ergonomic to hold—rather like those little rubber triangles we used to slip over our pencils in grade school. Knitters with carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis, it is suggested, will find square needles much more comfortable for long-term knitting.
These are fully functional knitting needles that just happen to be square instead of round. Their square shape gives you more to hold onto, which—depending on how you hold your needles and whether or not your hands tend to cramp or ache after too much knitting—may make your knitting much more comfortable.
It's ultimately a personal choice. You really need to pick up a pair and knit for a while to figure out what you think. You may find that they revolutionize how knitting feels to you. Or you may say, "Hmm, that's interesting," and return to knitting as usual. Or you may fall somewhere in the middle and choose to add a pair or two to your needle collection and pull them out when you crave a little variety.
Knitters are extremely picky about their needles, and these square ones give us another choice.
