I bought it as a gift for my mom, but I believe they are metal. It works really great..

Hi Carol. The blades on one of the attachments is metal and very sharp/the others are plastic. The ice crusher, smoothie one you use the metal one. But it is just like a knife, be careful how you handle it in the dishwasher, etc. Also, something I keep messing up on: Put the attachment in FIRST before your food... It might be common sense to most but I had a previous one that didn't allow removal pieces.

Metal. They are very sturdy but mine only lasted about 6 months before it completely stopped working.

No they are not metal. They are a hard composite plastic. They are very sturdy and sharp.

It's metal. I have used them for several months and no problems at all. I really like the quality of them. I have two.

I am pretty sure it is plastic. They do look like metal and had to take it apart to really tell.

The rotary blades are metal with attached rubber faces. The outer housing is 1/2 metal (in front) and 1/2 plastic in back I believe ... I am not at home to check. This is a light unit and it works very well for me. I am very happy that I bought this!

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 piece that holds it together is metal and part of the blade itself. Have enjoyed these shears for light use. Not tried them on boning chicken yet.

It's all plastic, except the blades are steel or metal. Either way it works fine

Sorry I didn't keep them as someone had dropped them before shipping and bent the end of the blades. Seems like very soft metal. They are connected via magnets. I'm not sure how they would be used as a staff?

In response, the two pieces that I previously mentioned as possibly made of plastic could easily well be aluminum. Both appear to be sturdy. The lever on the side is a little stiff and it takes a little getting use to it. The tab on the top of the blade is metal, but I don't see the purpose of having it there unless you want to open the blade manually. Good Luck...J

I'm sorry, i can't give you a definite answer. I gave them to my grandson who lives a long way away. I did see them before giving them and I would say metal. They definitely looked well made and durable. I was surprised at the time at the good quality for the price.

The blades are not metal. i believe the blades are wood with a plastic covering to endure exterior use. This is an excellent product for exterior use. I have two fanS installed on a covered patio (OPEN ON BOTH ENDS) on a 6 ft down rod. Both fans were easy to install with no wobble. I do not believe metal fan blades would be a good choice for fan in a PARTIAL/ OPEN exterior (RUST/WEIGHT) LOCATION. This is my second year year with these fans, currently have had no problems.

Plastic. Go with a metal version of these. Look for shiny metal rivets/screws on the sides, that is the give away for metal versions. I've been packing thousands of products for sale to customers for 20+ years. The only one I've ever found that works best and can replace the blades is the ULINE, H-380, 2" Metal Dispensers, 1/2 to 2", $11 each. Replaceable blades. 3M Scotch is disposable when blade wear out.

They are plastic. But I put rubber tips on them myself and it worked out well.

The blades are metal and the part that connects to the clipper is plastic with an embedded magnet

The blades are not metal. I think it's possibly wood with a plastic type of covering.
