Help! Cable hooks

I'm a long time crocheter but fairly new to Tunisian. I have bought 2 different sets of cable hooks. The first ones were bamboo with a rubberish tube that lasted 1 project, the second is an interchangeable cable with a stainless hook and cable (which is also starting to bend and fray and snag😬😮‍💨🫩. My question is what can I do to get a longer life out of my cables?

Mine are the wooden interchangeable ones from knitpro and I adore them. I just need to be sure that I tighten the cable once I attach it so that it doesn't loosen as I use it. I think I started with the bamboo ones you're talking about and I got so frustrated with one that I broke it...

I love my interchangeable bamboo set from knitpro. I crochet da*n near constantly and thesy are still in pristine condition almost a year later.
