Its been about 6 months since i installed it. My recollection is that it is colored or coated on the front but not the back. So I'm sure its not solid brass.It also seemed heavier than I would think this thickness of aluminum would be. My guess is that it is more like a thin sheet metal. I replaced one that was 19 years old and I see noreason that this one won't last that long.

I would assume steel but I dont actually know. For something that might take a bang by accident from time to time I would think steel, brass is just too soft and would dent resulting in the chrome flaking off .

it is made from brass , plated with different metals . Looks good , but the pumps suction and its recovery for a second disposal is small and slow.

Mine is well made with stainless. I would assume the brass one would be brass, not plastic.

It is not aluminum. Feels like plastic. Has a machined circular patern/texture expanding from the center outwards.

It's made of aluminum, very durable! Kinda heavy at first, but you'll get used to it.

Aluminium. But it's heavily coated with some kind of inert food safe coating. Works great.

It's made out of aluminum with a stainless steel handle. We're very pleased.

7075 aluminum alloy with brass hardware. You can find out more info about it by looking up austrialpin cobra buckle.

The one I purchased is brass but I recently found these fittings which appeared to be made with much poorer quality materials and workmanship at home depot so I unfortunately cannot vouch for what is now being sold. A significant reduction in quality in the brass fitting and in now what appears to be a plastic clamp with poor quality screws. They used to be a very well made product. Sorry

Its made of Iron and brass. Has a aged look about it. Get some oil and clean it. I use it on my gym locker.Works fine.

Metal, very sturdy. Not sure if it is steel or aluminum. No issues with it.

I think it is aluminum. As I am draining a hot canner I can pick it up and place on the drainboard.

Aluminum, great quality too! It has a rubber retainer inside to hold shells snug. I sanded them down a little so the shells come out easier.
