Is the metal clamping device made of rust proof stainless steel?

Yuri, I have several of these in various sizes and I usually hand wash them with regular dish soap and let them air dry in a dish drainer. In most cases the wire clamps have not rusted, but two of them have. I'm not sure why. The only explanation I can come up with is that the wire had a rust resistant coating that wore off after repeated washing. The rust was superficial and came off with a steel wool pad. Now I make sure to dry them thoroughly. I hope this information is helpful.

Mine has not rusted but generally no stainless steel is completely rust-proof. The clasp is non-magnetic so it is more likely a 3xx grade of SUS and generally decent against oxidation and corrosion.

Yes it is.. but I don't recommend this product as it jammed and rusted after a month of use.. much luck..

I have never had any problem with rust - stainless steel should not rust under normal use.

Since it is made entirely of stainless steel and has a plastic handle, I don't have authority to guarantee anything, but it is logical to me that it won't rust, ever.

I don't see it marked stainless steel anywhere but they seem to be. I am enjoying mine. No problems with rust so far.

It is not stainless steel I am sure, I would say it is like coat hanger wire only bigger around, works great and does not rust if that is what you are looking for.

Only if you used some sort of insulation such as a block of wood or sponge or something along that line otherwise ,no the clamps are metal I would not.

I've had mine about a year and used it many times in my apartment. So far no rust. This type of tool is required for low quality toilets that continually clog (my situation). It does a fantastic job.

It is heavy duty. They are not comparable to the plastic Lowe's clamps. Both the orange and silver components in this picture are solid metal on the clamps I ordered.

Not sure, but after years of use , there is no rust . Also a magnet will not work on it.

I'm no metallurgist but it looks like stainless steel...No rusting so far on mine. I would buy it again....watch for breaking though. Would if it took a dive.

Good question. I don't know because I don't know what kind of metal is used. The only metal that would resist rust would be stainless steel.

None of the metal parts are galvanized or stainless, but the metal is polished, so it'll look good for a while. The bolts, wingnuts & C-clamp are standard size; replacing them , if necessary, shouldn't be a problem. I've only had this antenna for about 4 months - no clue how it'll hold up over time.

Yes, as of my order from September 6, 2014. Its stamped on the clamp Made in USA.

The one I purchased is brass but I recently found these fittings which appeared to be made with much poorer quality materials and workmanship at home depot so I unfortunately cannot vouch for what is now being sold. A significant reduction in quality in the brass fitting and in now what appears to be a plastic clamp with poor quality screws. They used to be a very well made product. Sorry

Yes. Sorry to say mine started to rust at multiple points just a few weeks after I installed it. Very disappointing, because otherwise I was happy with the ease with which it mounted and the firmness with which it stayed in place.

There is a clamp. You can't actually see it in the picture because it fits to the bottom of the grey base and secures it to the edge of a table or a counter. Overall, the clamping mechanism is all metal and very solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.
