Are the side side stabilizers made of steel ?

They are not external, cannot remove them unless you dissect or cut it open, which I have not, nor has it worn enough to poke or show me exactly what it is made of yet. It feels like a coiled spring sort of like an old screen door spring squashed sideways so it is flat long ways. But this one is more comfortable than the old trusty one I had that did wear out and poked out the top and scratched me, so I threw it away and bought this one. If your looking for a solid flat metal blade this is not the one, it doesn't feel that way. This one gives too much like a spring to be that rigid. Nor is it external like Forest Gumps' leg Braces.

I would recommend this product, especially at the Amazon price. I purchased a fancy German brand that was recommended to me and ended up exchanging it for this one.

I believe the chainrings are steel and the crank arms are aluminum, hope this helps.

The side plate and unit is all metal. Only the removable hand guard is plastic.

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.

Yes, the supporter rods are stainless also. I know someone had reviewed that it was not stable and tended to tip over but mine is very solid.

No, they don't give side to side stabilization like a firm molded heel cup would along with an arch support. Like say what you would find in a Superfeet insert. They just provide extra cushion which puts less pressure on the heel where the plantar fascia connects. I use them with Superfeet inserts.

No, they are steel with a colored coating. They have so far been very good knives.

They are steel! Not sure why you would want Al ones? Mine came with three long inserts.... two middle length inserts.... and only one small. Which was fine by me.

There are clips on the side. They work well. I have used them for years without a mishap.

They are all steel and very durable. We have been very pleased with their performance.

Made from steel, and very handy because the spring lock keeps it attached to whatever, and in position to use. I'm using them on safety chains for trailer towing.

I don't think they are steel--they are lightweight. No rust. We've had the set for two years and they still look new.

hello J, the ones we bought are antiqued finished steel. They are nice though. Hope this helps.

Mine are stainless steel and I crush ice with them every day since I got them. No problems so far. Seem to be as good as the originals.

sorry, not 100% sure either, but I believe they are steel, they are very sturdy, also give the non stick coating high marks...
