What material are the clamps made from? I've had a product with plastic clamps that broke in cold temperatures.

They are plastic. But we have used this product for two years in all weather and for a power source camping, and it's never failed.

not sure what the clamps are made of but we use these at a dealership and use them 20 to 30 times a day to jump start the new vehicles and the vehicles that come in for service work. i have tried a number of different name brands units, but never one hold even close to the service we get from this unit. clore has my business now and for the future with the jnc4000. hope that helps.

These cables are made of copper-coated aluminum wire. No question about it. What is worse, I think, is that the crimps in the clamp handles have no strain reliefs. Since aluminum does not handle repeated flexing, I would expect to see eventual failures at the crimps. I have no doubt this product will perform well with limited use, but I would not buy it if you expect to use it frequently.

The clamp is made of delrin plastic, the octopus flexible snake portion is steel. It holds whatever position you twist it into very well.

They are made of a type of plastic. They are very robust as I am using 6 pieces and have had no problems with them.

I don't think they sell just a clamp. The one I bought the clamp is metal not plastic

I believe aluminum...I have had to expand them(by pulling the two sides apart) and it is a very stiff material. But once I've expanded them to fit over my winter clothing I have not had any problem with them changing size or shape.

The clamps are metal with a plastic overlay. They are not as nice as the picture shown on the advertisement. The clamps have worked very well for me so far but I have only used them seven or eight times and I keep it out of the cold. For me being in MN I was scared (still am) that if I left them in my garage the hot and cold weather would weeken the claps because they are not made exclusively out of metal as shown in the photos.

black plastic .... we have ours on small "trees" that we cut down to fence post size and have them spaced every 8 feet apart ... that has withstood some pretty heavy snowfall this winter & we are pleased so far with the overall strength ... only time will tell how long the "plastic" itself will last. it has done a superb job of keeping the deer & other critters out.

The 2 I bought were made of the mesh material. They have been great and I haven't noticed too much kinking. I try to lay mine out in long loops to prevent some of that. Also, I have found it is very important to always use a pressure regulator. One of mine recently started showing tiny pin holes and I am certain it is due to the one time I did not use a pressure regulator.

Clamps. I got this for my husband for Fathers Day. He uses every time he grills.

They are made of plastic, but after having used this through a very cold New England winter are still holding up well and haven't snapped.

Well I don't know what kind of clamps you got but the clamps I've gotten through Amazon.com is great for the use with my backdrop. The clamps is great on muslin thick or thin and big enough to clamp the top bar and or the side stands. If vertical use, either clamp it or pinch the material to keep it stretched cross (the tips are plastic). So, the clamps I've got is by "Bear Hug" by Grandpa Blue, look it up on Amazon. There made of plastic and durable and so far have no problems in them falling apart. Hope this helps.

One clamp snapped on us after nine months. I did notice a friend has lost 2 out of 4. Cheap plastic. The thing still works even with just two clamps. The trick might be to try not to open and close it too often.

The clamp is plastic, and not all that thick. I'm not sure exactly what your set up is, but I'm thinking it will not work how you want it to with out some reinforcing.

A strong plastic, not weak and flexible. On the plus side when it hit record low temps around here I knocked it out of my truck while helping a lady change a tire and it fell out and landed on the cold road surface and it did not break. It didn't open either (big plus)
