Spiral Eye Needles

Has anybody else used this? I found this nifty little needle when I first started cross stitching because I was horrible at threading my needles... I love this! While it's not good for everything, like when I am burying the thread I'm finishing because the end is slightly fatter than normal needles, it does save me lots of time when I accidentally pull my thread out of my needle, no more licking and trimming the thread over and over....

What are your thoughts?
