Is the metal stainless steel? Need it for a kayak paddle

Do not believe it is stainless; manufacturers usually promote the stainless aspect, since it is 4X more expensive. It is probably stamped carbon steel, but we have not tested for composition. Sorry.

Its pretty light for a aluminum paddle. The head of the paddle however is slightly flexible so I would not suggest using it for any kind of hard paddling such as surfing or racing. Its a good paddle for flat water cruising for the price however!

I bought one and everything is aluminum or plastic, I used this to tow my kayak by hand three blocks and it worked awesome and I had my kayak loaded up with a lot of gear. I think the only thing that is metal that might rust is the split ring on the cotter pin but that is a easily replaceable part at a hardware store. This is a good deal and you wont find a better product for cheaper. Just leave the tires outside for a few days or so because they do stink but the smell goes away.

It is stainless steel. However, after owning it for nearly a year I can see little spots of rust on the blade (nothing too big)I've taken it out in the sea water for 5 regattas, and weekly practices on a freshwater lake. (I sail dinghies and keep this in my lifejacket)

No, it looks like aluminum. It feels too light to be steel. It works well, though. I have used it to make large batches of dough and the machine and the hook worked as well as my old Kithen Aid.

It is 1075 steel so not a lot of chrome content. So not a stainless steel. I wouldn't wear it in water. Not sure why you'd need to really. I'd leave it with my pack on the shoreline and then go get it if I found I really needed it. But again not sure why you'd need to extract anything or bust down a door in the middle of a stream.

Yes. It is stainless steel. A fantastic fish poacher, you can't go wrong. We poach salmon 4 to 6 times a month.

No, it is aluminum, clad with nonstick interior. Same with the paddle. Easy to clean, but not stainless.

Yes, Dale, even the supporter rods on mine are made of stainless. It's really a great product!

I'm no metallurgist but it looks like stainless steel...No rusting so far on mine. I would buy it again....watch for breaking though. Would if it took a dive.

I don't know if it is stainless. The metal type should be listed in the product description. I use mine a lot and it stays out in my shed year round. No rust on it after 2 years

The actual reel and reel housing is all heavy duty plastic.But the center of the reel that the handle and (at the other end)where the water hose is attached to is metal.It's a strong pipe like center. I can't say what kind of metal that is.And it's not stated on the package.But a magnet does stick to it, so I doubt that it stainless steel. We've had super good experience with this style of Ames hose reel.

Yes, it's stainless steel. I've put it through my dishwasher with no problems. Cascade Platinum works great... no spots.

Yes, it is stainless steel, except for the controls that is plastic. It is really cool.

Jason, yes it is stainless steel. The handle does have two plastic parts where your fingers touch the handle to prevent heat transfer.
