I saw one one of these at the local H.E.B. Store. It looks very cool, It is constructed of very thin gauge metal. Will it hold up over time?

Very happy with ours ~ use it often even in this cold winter. Be sure to get the cover for it

I cant imagine it made of any heavier gauge as it would be impossible to move. I have only had mine 7 months but it sits outside and has been used about 30 times. Everything is as good as new with no issues or problems with the quality of the product.

Its been about 6 months since i installed it. My recollection is that it is colored or coated on the front but not the back. So I'm sure its not solid brass.It also seemed heavier than I would think this thickness of aluminum would be. My guess is that it is more like a thin sheet metal. I replaced one that was 19 years old and I see noreason that this one won't last that long.

It looks very durable. It is cast alloy metal and I think it will last a long time.

Yes, it is very durable and holds zero excellent. There is a video on youtube of a guy torture testing it, and its amazing the abuse it can take! I encourage you to check it out.

I'm not the manufacture or the seller, and I personally haven't dropped a steel ball on it to see, but as far as I can see it would survive a hit like that. Hope this helps

I've had mine for about 18 mos. I've nit had any problems and it still seems very strong. The ones I was buying from an auto parts place didn't seem to make it a year.

I have an electric stove, but it seems quite well constructed. I see no reason why it wouldn't hold up.

We've had it for a few years and it looks pretty good. I just bought one for my father in law and I want to get one for my dad.

My brother uses his every day. It is made of enamelled steel and kind of reminds me of the old telescoping car antennas, but it is quite sturdy - after all, it's only holding a hose, and the telescoping makes it flexible enough to move enough to accomodate movements during sleep. And I use mine for travel (at home I can drape hose over headboard poster) and it has stood up quite nicely to the folding/unfolding. I have given these as gifts to 4 different persons, they all use the stand and have thanked me. I really do think it's a great device - I just wish it came in colors in addition to blue....

Yes, I wouldn't recommend it over time. I order from metal ones from young living now. #1871100

I would say no. The metal quality is not up to par. I would limit the use to thin vinyl, card stocks, flexible magnets, etc.

I was happy to find and buy stainless steel replacement flame/heat diffusers. However, the thin gauge of the metal did not hold up well to the high heat. Mine deformed, but I continued to use them. Didn't see any harm. I think they are on the 2nd year. New grill soon--I'll be more vigilant.

I've only used mine a handful of times so far so I can't say it'll last years. It will depend on how often you use it I'm sure. It's very well made and a good buy in my opinion

Yes its pretty sturdy....its actually heavier than I thought it would be.....and it doesn't break easily....the only thing I would worry about is the propellar though.....its like a flexible plastic and kinda flimsy....but I don't think it will break....everything else is diecast metal. I hoped this helped

I just recd mine. It is a cheap replica of the original one that I bought at Home Depot. The Home Depot one is MUCH thicker metal. This one is very thin. I'd be lucky to get one season out of it. My Home Depot purchase lasted over 4 years. I was looking to replace it. It's shocking how identical this one LOOKS to the original. This is a 2 piece screw together design. The Home Depot purchase was one solid piece of metal that was pressed into a bowl with a stable base. This is more like a fancy bowl to put ice and some beers. I feel like I've been dooped. At least I can return it tomorrow. Too bad. I just recd mine. It is a cheap replica of the original one that I bought at Home Depot. The Home Depot one is MUCH thicker metal. This one is very thin.

It's so cheap because this attachment is mainly intended for airsoft use. For the price, hell I'd just buy one and test it out. If it works then you just got yourself quite the steal, if not, then no harm no foul.Personally, this is a very solid sight. It's all metal and has survived several drops on my AR replica. I believe it will hold up.
