Is the gear made of metal or plastic?

This is a very well made saw. Sprockets are metal. Tensioner is plastic, but solid. It has replaced my gas Stihl chainsaw. The thin kerf allows for fast cutting. The motor is used in their right angle grinders, which is well proven.

If you mean the gear that drives the chain, then it is made of metal. The outside case is of hard plastic. This chain saw has served me well, and replacement chains are available at local stores.

Metal. This saw is not what you'll find in the large home-improvement stores, and it is admittedly expensive, but you get a high-quality tool for the price. Aside from the chain, there's nothing on this that will wear out any time soon.

It is metal. The whole thing is solid design with smooth bearing motion. I have used it with three different size cameras and it is easy to adjust for each.

It is some kind of metal not as heavy as military kind but better than plastic. Used it twice works well not bad for beginners (bought for my brother) learning how to use with a map.

Metal, the cylinder is made of plastic. Appears to be fairly sound. We use this every weekend since the purchase.Absolutely love the set.

Plastic. And the thing that holds the helmets in place is like a sturdy foam.

Rubber moulded to a plastic wheel with the metal drive gear attached to the wheel.

It's made of plastic with metal cutting blades... Be careful though as there is some false advertising so make sure it actually does you want. Read my review for details.

It's plastic. It is very durable. I have one that is at least 10 years old and still kicking.

It is plastic but it is a real tough job rated nylon like material. Real good and strong. I have used the heck out of my set already and do not imagine they will ever break unless SEVERLY abused.

There are some plastic components but mostly metal. It seems well built and sturdy, much better than I expected for the price.

It is plastic. Its pretty tough though. Ive had minr on the front of my short course slayer pro for over a year amd the only problem i have had was one of the wires came out. I just soldered it back on and viola...

The gear wheel is a plastic crap that lasted no time..I'm trying to fabricate a metal one on to it..Truly regret wasting my money on it.

Funny timing on this question.. had my mower bout 9 months used probably 10 times.. thought gear box had gone south but was just adjustment..was looking at it 15 min ago. so i know the belt from the power shaft drives a gear box but cant confirm if steel or plastic gears.. my guess would be plastic tho as pretty sure gears inside wheels are plastic. But as a side note i do like the mower - plenty of power and lightweight easy to push around trees and such and cuts pretty well.. though if you buy be sure to check that the front axle is correctly positioned and fully locked by tabs near each wheel. mine wasn't but was easy to correct once i saw what was wrong. hope that helps..

It appears to be metal or a very very heavy grade plastic. So far it has worked very well for me. I'm not disappointed in this purchase.

The model that I purchased is all metal. I believe some of their models have plastic gears so be careful. Used it all summer and love it. Other brand that I used with plastic gears would not last the season. Perhaps not as pretty as some others but pretty does not water the lawn.
