Are these made of 100% steel, and last a long time? I'm very hard on my crutches.The crutches I've had the last 5 years I have to replace every year.

Not sure of the material but they are much heavier than other brands I've tried. I like you wear mine everywhere these have held up the best. I don't ever get five years out of a pair but I don't know exactly how long they last. I usually replace when they get too squeaky and the cuffs get worn and wiggle. Honestly for the price these are my go to choice.

Yes, these crutches are made of steel. However they are very heavy. I returned mine for that reason. In addition I ordered the chrome ones and they sent me black ones and even though they made a mistake they only gave me 60% back. I would NOT by from them again.

Not sure of the metal content....the forearm cuffs are held on with bolt/nuts. The nuts have come off repeatedly....contacted the company and they told us to use lock tight...they seem to be working good now.

They are all steel and very durable. We have been very pleased with their performance.

I've had mine for about a year, and have no problems with them. They are build very solidly.

I have had no issue with them at all. They are heavy duty and should last as long as you need them.

I've had mine for several years and they show no signs of rust. Seem to be made of quality material.

They are very sturdy. I would say some kind of metal. They are not cheap feeling at all. I love them.

No--they are holding up great. Very heavy pieces, don't bend--loving them. Should last a lifetime if you don't lose them.

The clamps are made of plastic (nylon?) but are pretty tough...I got them for a project that I needed them for which require the clamping on to a circular structure. After many cycles of clamping on/taking off, the clamps have yet to fail.

Ever is a long time, but these blades are made out of coated stainless steel. I've used an average of one blade per 4 days for a few years and I've never experience rusting.

It is my understanding that they are made of stainless steel. They work extremely well.

These are pretty sturdy. I bought a set for my parents approx. 2 yrs ago. They still look brand new. You should be able to get a few years even if the kids are hard on them. These are Commercial Grade. Good luck.

They are hard plastic but this thing is strong as steel it held over 300 lbs and didnt break. Haha yes i tested it.

That's not an easy question to answer as I haven't worn any out yet! I would estimate that they would last for a number of years. I live in a 'Blast furnace' called Arizona and if they last a number of years here they should last a LONG time anywhere else!

They are not cheaply made. I have had mine for over 2 years. I really like it.

They are steel! Not sure why you would want Al ones? Mine came with three long inserts.... two middle length inserts.... and only one small. Which was fine by me.

My were black. I really liked them. I needed to use them for about 4 months and they were way better then regular crutches.

Laura, I'm not sure whether or not it's made of steel, but, having used this for a few months now, I can definitively say that it is a SOLID product and way better than any of the cheaper ones I've had in the past. It's pricey, but well worth it.

I purchased a set two months ago and they are STILL in GOOD SHAPE with very little wear showing -- IF ANY!!!. What I am trying to say basically is that every other cane tip I had ever purchased over the last 15 years of using a cane every day was basically trash that may last a few weeks if I were lucky. These are excellent cane tips that are totally remarkable! I had tried almost everything out there but I'm sold on Rain-Guard! I don't plan on buying any of that other junk as-long-as Rain-Guard is around!
