is the shaft solid steel or hollow?

It is hollow which makes it nice and light when your using it to life a snake. I also use mine to stab and pick up trash in the woods so i dont have to bend over. It was worth every penny I paid. I use it spring and fall being a science teacher

The shaft is hollow stainless Steel. However, it is quite rigid and sturdy, but I haven't used with large snakes yet.

Hollow, makes it very light weight and comfortable. At the same time its very rigid which makes it very strong and sensitive when using it to probe down into crevices Where you cant see. Used it on a roundup in march and loved it...is well worth the money

Light steel. I will admit, they rust up really quick but it is well worth the money. I just liquid wrench mine every so often

It is hollow and Axel our German Shepherd has put small punctures in it and so far its still the same. I have to say it's very sturdy. We were leary about it also and are very satisfied

It does have a hollow handle, but does not have that hefty feel that denotes high quality stainless steel.

Yes it is hollow but not openable without a saw. It is still working perfectly after a year!!

The thickness of the steel is as the specs say. I can tell you it feels heavy duty all the way around, it's not flimsy or weak at all. It's a solid piece of steel.

Sorry, haven't weighed it, but it has some heft/weight. It' not plastic and I don't think that it's hollow.

This is steel. Quite heavy actually. I have used this extensively and highly recommend it. It rolls easily.

The answer I received when I emailed the manufacturer that question in August, 2015: it is made of rubberwood, not bamboo, and is solid, not hollow.

It's hollow, they're pretty much always hollow. It is a thick-gauge steel though, so no worries, it should handle a reasonable weight...

Hollow, definitely. I can't believe anyone said otherwise, unless the manufacturer ships different versions.

The sword is completely metal, and the handle feels completely solid. If it's hollow, it's a thick cylinder, but either way, it's very sturdy.

Its a soft steel. The ornate leaves will bend if you do not handle it right, but the cage bars are pretty solid and will not bend. The steel is powdercoated with something too. I've had this thing for like 2 years and its still solid, pretty, and unscratched.

I can't tell if it's solid or hollow but the fact is that it is very sturdy -- has been installed in the bathroom my husband uses who is 170 lbs and uses it to pull himself up from the toilet. Just make sure you install it properly -- screwed on the two by fours and not on just sheetrock.

They are steel shafts. Better good beginners set. The driver is a bit weak. Recommend getting a better driver.

No, not hollow - very well made and sturdy. We bought more to give us service for 12.

It's steel or iron, but not solid. From the description of the product (@ Amazon) is accurate: The Kensington Arch is constructed of steel tubing with a verdigris powder coat finish.
