It is a hard plastic. The base is the only part that is metal. But the material is very sturdy

All metal/aluminum construction... We are using it and it has been very good.

I think it's plastic. It's been great for us so far, but we've only had it installed for 6mo. So far, so good and handsome too

It's plastic. It is very durable. I have one that is at least 10 years old and still kicking.

It appears to be all metal. We were very happy with it and it didn't take long to install it.

It is made out of metal. I really like it. For the money, I think it is the best!

It seems to be primarily metal (aluminum I'm sure) with some plastic parts.

Its plastic and metal. Mine did not survive indoor use even, so I would not recommend it for outdoor use.. Or not recommend it at all.

I believe it's all plastic. It is very light-weight. When I took a few different magnets to it, nothing happened.

It is made of plastic, but it's a very durable, thick plastic and I've had no problems with it at all.

Metal now. It was previously plastic, but they redesigned it. I bought the new (metal triggered) unit about a week ago. I recommend it without reservation.

I was so disappointed so I threw it away. But to the best of my knowledge it was plastic. I don't recall any metal anywhere.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

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

Mostly plastic, part metal. However, I literally had to pick up the thing and inspect it for the answer -- it doesn't look like cheap plastic, and the base is heavy to keep it steady.
