Is this paddle metal or plastic? My original is plastic and I want metal.

Plastic. I broke the original by letting it go too long - the ice cream got too thick, so am more careful now. Don't know if there is a metal option.

The paddle is plastic. You don't want a metal one, I'm pretty sure they don't make them. For ice cream don't use metal.

Metal. The foam I don't think would hold the powerful motor securely enough to not twist and bind. The motor needs to be mounted fairly square to the old handle shaft.

The one with steel. Don't buy plastic. They will not last. This on is great. It comes with two different size attachments to steam with!

The material in the handle is aluminum, it's not a high end carbon paddle or anything like that.

works fine for me. It's a "toy" though, so of course it's plastic and metal.

I doubt it. If you lost the original paddle, don't worry about replacing it with the same one, as they're pretty poor paddles to begin with. Take the opportunity to get an upgraded paddle. A proper paddle makes a big difference. You can get a nice used paddle for about $50 (Craigslist, Used Surf Shop, etc.). Or browse around here on amazon, and you should be able to find something just fine in the $50-$100 range. Hope that helps!

The 6-Deck Automatic Card Shuffler is plastic. We use ours almost weekly. Our first one lasted a couple of years. I have never seen a metal one.

The Hayward 400 is metal and plastic. The middle is metal and the sides are plastic, but it does not feel cheap. It is solid. I just received it and it seems to work better than the previous unit I had that was about five or six years old.

No plastic here, it's metal. It's a very nice faucet. I've had it in for a few months now and it's holding up great to a lot of use. I love it. It's a beautiful faucet! :)

Plastic, and it's actually pretty sturdy plastic. There are some metal parts, but overall mostly plastic. Biggest drawback? The sound. The drag is louder than any sea-rod I've ever heard, and it echoes like no one's business.

The pole is metal. However the head of the stick that meets into the pole is plastic. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately it is plastic just like what the original faucet came with. The thin outer "stainless steel-like" finish on the one I bought has already begun to separate from the body of the piece.

It is not plastic, it is metal. But I would not recommend it anyway. The metal main body cracked on me. I do not know why - I did not overload it at all. I just noticed once that there was a crack there. It is still usable, but I will buy another.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

Yes the connection piece is aluminum along with the rest of the paddle. Only thing about this paddle is that it doesn't float very well. It will sink. But the yack grips solve that problem and make it more comfortable.

If you ordered is it metal or plastic? One person says metal the other plastic......

Metal now. It was previously plastic, but they redesigned it. I bought the new (metal triggered) unit about a week ago. I recommend it without reservation.
