Is the piercing tip still made out of that soft pewter/lead like pot metal like the old ones? Thats the part that wore out on the one I had years ag

I really don't know what the material is but ours is atleast 4 years old and looks new. We remove from the ground, wash and dry and hang it in the garage.

It seems like a strong aluminum and I made a slit in and it is still strong. I push it into very dense soil containing hard pan/clay. It does not push through hard pan layer without mixed. In other soil.

I am sorry I can't be specific because I was so disappointed in the performance of the "heavy Duty" that after it broke the second time I just gave up and trashed it. We are using the extra feed we bought by mixing it and pouring it down a piece of pipe I drilled holes and just push into the ground. We also mix the feed and spade 1 shovel depth and pour it in.

Mine seens to be the same material of the filter rim. Touched with a knife and feels like metal.

The hoops on the 3 barrels I purchased have all been metal. They were used heavily at the bar where I work, aging rum, tequila, and bourbon. Good luck

No. The rod is made of a light metal pipe that is pretty light, but chrome plated. The ends are also of a light metallic alloy of some sort and chrome plated.

I've had my phone since February and haven't changed my tip yet. It's just not as white as it was before. The white tips are plastic and the black ones are rubber. The white ones glide a little easier across the screen but it's really which ever you prefer

Just to add my two cents, as John said it is the same coupling--in fact we are using our old blade assembly with the new unit since the new blade seems to splash a lot more (why would they do that?!). Our old coupling was indeed the part that broke, necessitating the replacement, but it happened after years of regular service when we accidentally tried to blend a metal spoon with it. So to agree again with John, I think if you stick with blending non-metallic objects it should last a reasonably long time.

Flange and spacer tube are metal! Only thing I noticed is they aren't welded all the way around, unless you plan on being hard on it doesn't matter but if you plan on beating it up, do what I did and lay a bead all the way around top and bottom! Other than that, works great!

Yes. The threaded end of the instrument unscrews, allowing the tip to be replaced.

ah, sadly enough it was made of a nice kind of metal, but it is now Very tarnished, meaning it turned reddish color if worn frequently, due to the coloring rubbing off revealing the cheap metal below. Now, sadly enough every set of vongola rings use this metal or a metal that tarnishes because it's cheap, unless you're willing to pay 150$-250$ for a Real silver set.' hope i helped!

No mine was metal, just like the one on my Stinger DS. The only problem was the diameter. If you are looking to upgrade an origional Stinger with this item you will find the cap is bigger than the battery housing of the light. It worked fine but didn't fit into the light holster.

I commented earlier that the basket, basket lid, and perk tube were stainless, which is correct. I also said it was 100% stainless, which is incorrect. Upon further investigation it appears that the cup at the bottom of the pot where the perk tube rests in is not made of stainless and may be made of aluminum. I have edited my first comment providing the additional information. Sorry for the bad info.

This is slightly off topic. I just bought the new Water Pik (WP100) from Amazon. I bought the Nasal tip from Anthony Products. They have a minimum order so I had to buy four of them. Since I only have one nose I have more of the tips than I need. I still have two for the WP100 and one for the old machine (WP60, WP70). These are made of stainless steel and Delrin. The Dr. Grossan tip looks real cheap next to them.At any rate they are never used and in the sealed plastic bags. I will take $14 each plus shipping.Phil

Our set is about 20 years old so it is not the hard anodized type, just regular stainless. We love ours still.

I just watched a How It's Made program on the Science Channel on making these whistles. They are made of brass that is nickel plated. At least the UK version is.

I think most of the ones produced these days are lead free. I think you need to worry more about antique pieces. For the money, this looks and feels amazing. You will def be happy!

The metal is black on the inside. My last one was also black on the inside. What ever it is made out of, it is singe resistant - I burnt my last one so many times. The whistle on this one is not detachable and is very sturdy. Haven't burnt it yet.
