Blades are metal; outer housing is very hard plastic. I clear an 8 car parking lot with it and it works and works and works like a champ.

The handle is plastic, but the crank arm is metal. The retaining mechanism for the grinding wheels have some plastic components, but overall are of excellent quality. If you are worried about wear and tear, there are some inexpensive replacement parts on offer from the manufacturer.

Steel. I purchased one and installed it on a savage axis. Nice 3lb pull now.

Its all metal. I love it. Really handy for quick sweep ups. Light weight but really picks up, even dog hair. Great sweeper for the price!

Plastic wheels with metal rings. I've got a pair of Pit Bull Rock Beasts on them running 3S with no issues.

Hi Ray, the gears on my machine are made of metal. In fact the entire machine is metal except for the roller on the handle.Hope this helps...Jim

Plastic. Easy to assembly. Except we got two because we have twins and one tractor was ,missing all hardware, but they promptly sent it. Just couldnt put it together for under the tree :)

The blades (both of them) are stainless steel as is the shaft connecting the blades to the underside rotor. All I can see, other than what I described above is plastic.

The motor housing is a tough plastic. Just like my original maker and it still works great it's just old. This one looks and works just as well built.

Wheels are made of a very durable black plastic. Pulls easier than pushing...

The pulleys are a synthetic material of some sort, probably a phenolic, and seem to be of good quality. Plastic often denotes a cheap product but I don't think this is the case here. It would be a rare bird indeed today to find cast iron drive components in products of this sort.

Not sure which gears you are talking about. Part of this is plastic, and most of it is stainless steel. The wheel that tightens the parts that get attached, is plastic. It works very well, whatever the parts are made of.

All steel. But the auger I *think* is heavy plastic, but covered in steel (steel plated?).

It is made out of plastic. The only metal parts are the crank and the disks. All of the gears are also made of plastic. The one I purchased worked fine for a few times, but then one of my children cranked too hard and stripped the plastic gears.

The one that I got was metal. My OEM one had the bearing break out of it and I ordered this one. It was a good replacement and has worked well on my craftsman 42" deck.
