What does the "Poly" refer to? Does this refer to the rod material, grooves or something else?

"Poly" is short for polypropylene plastic, and is referring to the molded plastic handle.

The rod is stainless steel. No other finish applied. I guess some might call it a "nickel" finish look.

The graphite (black) rods are for serious sharpening, as when the blade is very dull or nicked. The ceramic (white) rods are for honing on a regular basis (before or after use, depending on your prefernce). The large ceramic piece on the end is for serrated blades. And the fold out diamond rod is for serious sharpening of irregular or hard to reach edges - serrated and such. Hope this helps.

I bought this item for my parents. They were having trouble with build up in their boiler. This product had cured the build up in the boiler! I'm not sure about the poly line.

I had the gear box apart. The several gears are either nylon or metal. High speed shaft from motor is metal but the gear that meshes to it is nylon (plastic). This is common with cheaper grinders and not necessarily negative unless you are a commercial operator.

I didn't know for sure the answer to this so looked up definition of picatenny rail. I used digital calipers and this fits the groove criteria

Both screws on this mono-pod are plated steel. The main tubes look to be aluminum. It works very well with my movie and SLR with a long lenses. I am typically working from the bleachers and I use the mono-pod at reduced height. It really increases the stability. I recommend it.

I would say comparable to a regular poly, but it doesn't seem to crack or flake if you dent wood with a thick coating.I've coated kid's toys and guitar necks in this. It holds up nicely.EDIT - Took a trip to Graceland with the nine-year-old. I made a Cigar Box Guitar for him and gave it to him in Graceland. At one point he wanted to do something special, so we scratched the back of the guitar's neck on the wall outside Graceland. The finish didn't tear or flake off, it just dented in like the rest of the wood.

Actuator is made of plastic. Rod is made of steel. Not much stress is put on actuator by way of design.

The "split finish" refers to the actual finish of the metal...so part of the metal is shiny and part of the metal is a brushed finish. The whole rod lifts up to refill...not just one end.

Rivet nut, Poly-Nut (not to be confused with Poly Lock), Threadsetter & Nutsert are all different terms for the same thing.

Sorry, I'm not positive, but it relates to the offset of the blade teeth so the blade does not bind. You would most likely get a better answer from a dictionary.

yes there are grooves. Had these on my road bike for a few years now and love them. They are 6061 so lightweight for aluminum.

Poly....yes. It is a two part mix. The 2nd part is inside the can in a seperate container you puncture from the bottom of the paint can then shake like crazy to get a good mix. After mixing, its only good for a couple hours then hardens.
