Are the 'teeth' metal or plastic

The teeth are metal and they do a terrific job shredding into micro pieces.

They are plastic handled and have nice grip. One is metal and the other is plastic and rubber. And a mirror. They will help with cleaning teeth but don't try and scrap to much at plaque because you can actually scrape off enamel. If you have very hard to clean find a dentist with a non medical insurance plan. They are out there for cleaning. I like these but the plastic one can break if you use it hard but my fav tool is the mirror. The product will work great for its use. Quality is good and will do great for home use.

I don't know about the teeth question. But, to answer the second question this ball is not made of felt. The ball is all plastic. Very sturdy

They are plastic..light weight but gets the job done FAST. Durable and handy, I keep mine hanging on a nail in the garage, so they are ready to go.

Metal, but the plasticish ties around the handles have come off for me at this point. Also, they are not ALL-METAL, as the skull-crushers on the ends are made out of plastic, as I have previously mentioned. They do have a tendency to pop off after being used, but I popped them back on each time and they work. I have had these swords for a number of years now and they are still a fine addition aside from my previously mentioned issues.

They are metal. Already dealth with the plastic ones. After extensive tries by the squirrels to steal the food they now just look at it.

Hard plastic. We've taken ours on many trips without incident if you're worried about protecting the toothbrush.

It's plastic around the outside and some kind of metal for the blades. I don't know exactly what kind but it is not rusting if that's what you're worried about. I love those smaller bite size pieces - use it all the time. :-)

One is metal and the other is plastic. I have the plastic one and it's completely fine; it talks the talk and walks the walk.

It's metal. I have used them for several months and no problems at all. I really like the quality of them. I have two.

The rotary blades are metal with attached rubber faces. The outer housing is 1/2 metal (in front) and 1/2 plastic in back I believe ... I am not at home to check. This is a light unit and it works very well for me. I am very happy that I bought this!

Oh no they aren't metal. (I like that for safety reasons.). They are plastic but look great.

I bought it as a gift for my mom, but I believe they are metal. It works really great..

They're coated steel. Scraped a little off one jaw and saw silver metal underneath. Also found that a magnet clamped to it easily indicating ferrous content. Copper is a bit soft for the kind of work you want these jaws to stand up to, thus making the steel 'backbone' necessary I guess.

Hi Chris - on the ones I received there was no plastic piece, just metal and wood.

Plastic, but it's pretty good quality. I doubt you'll find any metal ones, otherwise it would be too heavy for the magnetic holder to hold the head to the neck.
