What material is the unit made of? Plastic, aluminum? I bought a similarly designed unit from another company but the arms/jaws ended up breaking.

I think the model I have is plastic parts. I have had no problems with it as yet ( a few months ).

It's made of plastic, about 3/8ths diameter and very sturdy. Nice thing about that is that should it ever develop problems it should be very easy to find a replacement piece of plastic tubing to fix it with!Good luckBrian

The arm and mounting bracket are metal, just he head is plastic. Seems to work well.

It is plastic and metal. The metal part isthe front part you wedge under the door. With the battery it weights more. It really works. Very accurate and loud. I urge you buy two.

The bars themselves are made from aluminum. the brackets on the end that clamp the rails to the bars are made from plastic.

This one is plastic. I have had it mounted for several months and found it very durable.

It is metal and lightweight. So I assume it is aluminum. But I'm not certain, sorry.

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

It is aluminum, T6 type or similar I believe. It is pretty strong, but not particularly heavy.

It was plastic, very flimsy. I returned the item and got a stainless steel from local hardware store.

Hi! Unfortunately I returned all 3 units I bought since they are made of low quality plastic and do not work right. Sorry and I would suggest other seller's items.

It's Plastic. Ours is about two years old and is holding up ok, but it does seem like the weak point of the unit.

Metal....aircraft grade aluminum. I think it is better than the plastic one.

I am holding it my hands at this moment. It is in fact metal. It is some sort of aluminum. The only plastic is on the screw end that clamps to table. The jaws are a rubber compound that are removable. I've used this several times and does a really good job on light work. The ball socket makes it really nice to position things at different angles. Overall, works good.

It is aluminum, and the mounts it comes with are plastic and metal I'd assume to be aluminum also, had it for a while now no problems just tighten the mounts a little after every few drives after I first got it now it's set and doesn't need anything
