are the threads that stretch the stretcher apart plastic or metal?

The threads are metal but there is a plastic end that as you twist is what separates the stretcher. The plastic piece broke in half on one and came off completely on the second stretcher.

It's metal, but I am not expert about the quality, you just need to use it for quite awhile to be sure. I got it last 2 weeks, and I am pretty happy with it, no problem. I can also stack them together easily. All double thread.

The end caps are plastic the rest is metal. They held up well for me, but the pins to adjust the weights took a bit to get use to (they would stick sometimes)

It is plastic but with a chrome finish. I think the hose part might be metal.

The clamps are indeed made of plastic, but are rather beefy in construction. They should hold up as long as they aren't run over by vehicles or clamped to exhaust manifolds or other very hot surfaces.

The end of the hose that attaches to it is metal but the connection on the unit itself is plastic like everything else. I have had mine a little over two yearsand the plastic reel inside the unit has deteriorated and broken just from thestress of winding the hose on it. I had originally given it a two star rating butnow I would change to one star.

Hello, They are metal bolts with plastic twists on each end to hold the two pieces together. Not sure what size this particular model takes, but here is an example of what they look like: http://www.petmate.com/hardware-78-screw Ryan SJK Products Inc.

No, it's some kind of metal; probably what they call "pot metal". I don't think plastic could handle the high tension of the springs that hold it in place.

It has one strand of about 1/8" plastic. One thing on mine, the automatic feed does not work. I have to open it and unwind it but it is easy. It probably works better with a pre-wound spool. I may not wind it correctly.

The tips are brass but yes the actual restrictor in the center is plastic. These are a good basic replacement but probably ideal for heavy commercial use.

Ours hasn't stretched. Is made of a nylon, possibly could stretch after heavy usage, but it has a screw that tightens down on the line after you pull it out, so you can adjust the length of line.

The crimp on the hose & portion that pushes in on a standard tank are metal. The collar that screws onto the tank's valve is plastic.

The bars are metal... the connector is hard plastic and rubber... good quality

The bobbins are medal ones not plastic. So depends on your sewing machine. I just use them for thread .

These adapters are made of Brass. The washers are made of aluminum. There is no nylon at all. Be cautious when tightening, as they are not made for high pressure applications.

sorry for my previous response, the nozzle is metal, the bad quality plastic is the dispenser itself
