What is this made of? Metal, cast aluminum, or iron? And what is the warranty ?

I appears to be made of regular steel. It works okay. I have stripped alot of different size wires and it works okay. You do fiddle with the adjustments a fair amount of time. I've been pleased with it, alhough, I paid full price and would say that in my opinion, it's only worth about $20.00. You fiddle with the adjustments alot, but it does get the job done. Hope this helps.

David - Cast Aluminum. Nice heavy material...should last many years. Put mine in last summer...they come on every night, even when buried in deep snow.

I don't purchase items made of aluminum. I'm pretty sure this is stainless steel. I threw the box away, so I cannot check completely for you.

The sign is aluminum but the pole it mounts to was iron and did have mild rust in the package. What it will do my yard through the years is anybody's guess.

I am not 100% certain. I got this but it did not last long as family scoffed it. I am pretty sure it was metal.

It's aluminum with a non-stick coating. I would have preferred cast iron, but I'm quite happy with it. Works great.

I think it is a rather inexpensive cast aluminum. Won't rust, but not very strong.

It appears to be aluminum and I haven't seen any rust so the manufacturer may have changed materials. Sorry I can't be more helpful...

I believe it is steel but coated with aluminum not sure as I did not try magnets on it

It's been a while since I bought it. I returned it because it was junk. The base was a cast material- probably aluminum, but possibly steel.

It appears to be stainless steel. I believe it is a combo of both. It is pretty heavy for aluminum. It length is 10". The width of heads are 2 3/8"wide. One is flat and other side is ridged with raised multi-points. This was an excellent purchase and I have used the heck out of it. I wish the ridge part was a little deeper. It feels very secure and balanced when using it.

It's made of stainless steel and cast aluminum. Only bolts and nuts can get rusted!

Hi Kat - My neighbor has an original & it is aluminum as well. It was never made of iron. Iron would be too slow to heat & cool if it was. I can whip out sandwiches in just a few minutes with my new one just as my mom did. Please note that I have nothing to do with the company other than the fact that I bought a couple of them. I gave one to my sister & Brother-in-law for Christmas with a small box of Velveeta, dragging back old family traditions. Bottom line - Enjoy!

It's an aluminum. You have to be very careful with the legs because they aren't very sturdy and the paint on the "metal' frame chips and scratches easily.

I don't know about warranties, but I have two of these and bang em up but they hold strong. I'm not sure of they are actual aluminum or an aluminum finish because they are stronger than you would assume aluminum to be

They do not say. They are not cast iron. They feel heavier and sturdier than aluminum, but they are coated with "Calphalon" top and bottom so there is no visual of the metal. My guess would be steel, but that's just a guess.
