Is the tool all metal? Or does it have a plastic handle?

The pin is metal but the handle is plastic. The metal shaft bends so be careful not to put too much force on it.

Mine which arrived March 2015- black metal punch, in black plastic handle...just tossing this in as a few years have gone by since the last input on these and there appears to be some inconsistancy

Plastic handle with metal punch. I've pried in things with it and it's held up. I wouldn't recommend doing that though since it isn't designed for it.

It's all plastic, but is a high quality plastic. I own a glass chopper and the top didn't last and the crank wasn't as well made as this one.

Yes, everything is metal. I have not seen any plastic parts on this machine.

Scoop is plastic, handle is metal. I absolutely LOVE this shovel...you will not regret this purchase...just wish I had known about it sooner in life:)

This is metal and has plastic handles. I have had this a long time and I'm not disappointed! It looks much better in person than in the photo, too.

Hello it is a combination of both, the tool parts are metal and the upper is plastic. Feels well made. The only part that seems like it may ware in the future is the on off soft button. So Far I really am happy with the purchase and quality. I have owned it 6 monthish and use it several times per month.

I have no clue. My friend ordered the same thing and he got a metal handle one but when i ordered, I got a plastic one.

One would think for the price of this, it would all be metal. Unlike what someone else said, the gears/wheels are not metal; they are plastic with a rubber belt turning it. The item the hose winds around is metal. The item which slides back and forth to apply the hose evenly across the reel is plastic too; but, it does slide on the metal frame. The biggie for me is the "handle is metal"; this is the part I have always had rip off when I had plastic handles on previous junk. Thus far, this item is working very smoothly.

The model I have is all metal as far as I can tell. Still have it hoping to get it repaired. It's a quality product, just don't drop it so the handle pops out. Can't pop it back in and Merkur has no response.

It's all metal except the "wood" rings around the grip which are brown plastic.

The handle is metal. The tines (tynes??) are metal. The red thing at the bottom that fits on the handle and holds the tines is plastic.

Everything is metal except the brown grip on the handle and its a pretty sturdy plastic.

It's an all metal handle. I don't know about abuse, mine was used to chip concrete off of mixers to work on them, after a month the gun is no longer useable.

Hi, it's metal and the tool works awesome. Very nice build quality. The trigger is plastic, so that is not ideal. Overall, it's the best bang for your buck, I've had cheaper ones and they are junk.

The head and baseplate are metal. The handle is plastic. I've worked with a few fluid heads and I find this excellent value for price.

Hello. The whole thing is made of plastic, with the exception of the metal blade. It works quite well.
