How resistant are these to rusting (particularly the yellow brackets which do not appear to be made from Al.)

In the five years or so that I've owned them, there has been no sign of rust, nor aluminum corrosion of any kind. The yellow brackets are heavily painted. Typical Dewalt high quality. I keep my stand in the workshop when not in use, so there is less exposure to moisture. But I would say that you can expect a long life from these little beasts.

The brackets are steel, and appear to be powder-coated. Mine have zero rust, but they are always stored out of the elements.

Well they look like they are powered coated , and I don't leave mine outside in the elements I bring them in and store them in the garage when I am finished using them . but I am sure with proper care they will last a long time . If not then you can always make you some out of treated wood and leave them out all year long and mount your saw to a piece of plywood as well !!! hope that helps you out some .

Well I have had my set of work stands for almost two years and as of yet no problems with any rust. However I am in Arizona and it is dry here, not a big problem. The painted ends appear to be painted with powder coating and covered very well. As long as they are not stored outside in damp conditions I would think you would receive many years of good service from them. I do enjoy these stands and would not hesitate to purchase them again.

I bought these because they said they wouldn't rust. They haven't so far as we use a dishwasher and just leave them sit in it to dry. I was really pleased with them from the get-go. They are much nicer than I had hoped, real solid and nice looking.

I am sorry I don't know. I do know they rust you have to be very careful of them.

If you use them outside I would spray them with a clear sealent otherwise after a while I think they would probably rust.

I have installed them around a clawfoot tub three months ago. No rust yet. They are described as stainless steel and brass plated with nickel. If the roller bearings are non-magnetic, then they are probably nickel-plated brass. The rings are stainless steel which will not rust. The brass is my main concern--not for rust but for the nickel plating wearing off showing the yellow brass underneath. The yellow brass could then corrode to a dark green, almost black color with yellow tracks where it got scratched or worn off during the rolling. However, none of that has happened yet. The roller bearings should result in less scratching of the rings and the pole they roll over, but they will eventually wear, hopefully much more slowly than non-roller rings.

They can rust, but what I've seen is only surface rust that can be cleaned off. I would think with proper cleaning and maintenance it would be less of an issue.

Stainless shouldn't rust, I've had mine about a month, and I am really happy I bought them.

I have used mine for months and no rusting. I even run them through the dishwasher and they come out fine.

I think they will rust if used inside or out I think they are chrome plated steel. I still would take them over non-metal. Probably as good as you can get. Very nice looking.

Hi. We have had 5 of these in our garage for 2+ years, in the Seattle area and have had no rust issues. My husband LOVES them. Hope that helps.

I haven't had them very long but they have not shown signs of rust. Maybe some water spots though lol

They are aluminum and aren't rusting at all. I'm pretty sure aluminum won't rust. I'm not sure about the coastal areas but I do have mine around my pook which is salt water. They are very pretty and heavy pieces. I hope this helps!

No not easy. I have had them for a little wild and only one have them a spot of rust on it.

Mine have only been installed for about a month and a half so no rust so far. I don't expect any problems though.
