Is it made of plastic or metal? A review says that the base is made of painted plastic.

The blade is stainless steel, but the body (where the electronics are) is ABS Plastic. It is a very well made housing that given reasonable care should last for some time, but like any precision tool, you might not want to run over it.

Both. The rule is stainless steel, the body with the electronic gauge is plastic.

The blade is steel along with the adjustment screw parts. The handle/case with the electronics is plastic.If it is used properly as you would use an expensive caliper or micrometer, it should last a long time.

The housing for the electronics is plastic (well made) The blade (SS) and the moving securing parts are metal. It is well made. But, it's electronic, and like a phone, you wouldn't want to drop it repeatedly and not expect some impact on function. I'm pleased with the device.

I do believe it is made of plastic. I have no idea where it was made. If you have not purchased this item yet, I would not recommend it. Spend a little more and get a metal one.

It is pretty heavy, I do not think it is plastic. I checked it before the installation, I saw metal inside (copper or brass).

It is a hard plastic. The base is the only part that is metal. But the material is very sturdy

I don't remember if it is made of plastic. I bought for rehab a house by a contractor. It looks great and functions well for the price. Even at Home Depot and Lowes, most similar products are made of plastic and prices are higher. I am happy with my purchase.

It has a metal base. It has held up well over the years. I'm not sure if the current model has a metal base.

It is a combination of plastic and metal. The legs of the base and the top that you hang items from is plastic.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

The base has a stainless housing around the top, but the bottom of the base is plastic.

Terri, it is wood, but perhaps particle or pressed. It's painted so hard to tell but definitely not plastic. Hope this helps.

The fan head and the base is plastic, the only part I can see that is metal is the pole.

The base is a heavy plastic with a glossy sheen. The entire piece is fairly heavy and a wooden base would have only added to that I would imagine.

its plastic. I don't recall one that was ever made of metal. I think it needs to be light enough to mount on the closet bar. hope this helps

I think the base is a hard form of plastic. I like them so well I have bought 4 of them for my rental cabins and home. They do in no way look cheap and they look real. The quality is as good as it gets. You will not be disappointed.

I dont know exactly what it is made of, but it is metal not plastic.. I think it is Aluminium .. From my experience it is of good quality :)

It's almost entirely plastic on the outside. Some of the internal parts are undoubtedly made of metal.
