Is the scooping part metal or plastic?

Its a very durable feeling metal. It won't bend or fold for years most likely. Its all one solid piece and the handle part has a textured rubber mold on for grip. It won't slip off either

The whole scoop is metal. There is a rubberized cover over the handle portion.

All metal. Great product. One Flaw., it should be wider, with larger slots for the litter to sift faster.

I'm sorry..I should have mentioned that little part. Yes, the entire scooper is made of sturdy metal ( won't bend or snap ) with a foam covering over the handle.

The scooping part is metal; in fact the entire thing is very heavy duty metal. It is one piece of metal , with a rubberized coating over the metal handle. We have used one at the Bonaire Animal Shelter for 10 years; scooping 10 litter boxes daily. The only part that ever gave out was the pointed end of the rubberized handle which has a hole to hang on a hook. The rubber tore. The scoop is still perfectly functional.

This is metal and has plastic handles. I have had this a long time and I'm not disappointed! It looks much better in person than in the photo, too.

Its plastic. And very weak. The metal only goes into the plastic handle for about 1/2". Mine snapped in half, I just posted a couple of photos.

The handle is metal and plastic connecter. It is reasonably sturdy. I have (thru no fault of my own) 10 cats and at times as many as 4 dogs to clean up after. The mop gets a good workout. I am still pleased with the system.

The dump part is metal. It's pretty heavy duty. My 2-year old grandson climbed right in and his brother pushed him around the park.

Depends on what you are scooping. Solids works well, less than solid, you'll be scraping. Still, it's a thin metal edge that's far superior to most else.

It's plastic, but very sturdy. We used it for my daughter's baby shower and it worked perfectly.

Very sturdy. Handle is metal. Scoop is plastic but very strong. Highly recommended.

The blade and the motor are, of course, metal. The rest is plastic. It is very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months now for frozen smoothies (very thick ones) and it hasn't let us down. Works like a charm every time.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

Both but the plastic is NOT flimsy OR thin - It is ONE of the best scoops we have ever owned . .

We've had one of these for four years and it's never bent. It has a rubber coating, but it's definitely metal underneath. This is the ultimate scooper.

it's a very sturdy plastic. i believe the cutting teeth are metal though.honestly, this dispenser is great. we've tried 3 or 4 other ones and hated them all for one reason or another. after we decided this was the winner, we bought a few more for the warehouse. everyone likes them, and they've held up great.

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.

The scoop is made of very durable plastic which keeps it lightweight and very slick on the snow so you can slide up and over the snow bank to dump the load. The edge is metal to cut through the snow banks and frozen snow. Hope that helps.

The pole is metal. However the head of the stick that meets into the pole is plastic. Hope that helps.
