Is the handle made of plastic? Thx.

Yes, the handle is plastic but it is a very sturdy piece. I have no problems with the valve and highly recommend it.

Yes, the handle is plastic. The handle turns to the off & on position so smoothly I don't feel it will break unless you make the effort to do so. If it where to break I would guess it would fail in the area where the handle is screwed on to the valve.

yes, black plastic I am not concerned with it even if it could break. No big deal. Turns easy and use it only once a month.

Yes, but it seems quite serviceable. Admittedly, it might break before the rest of the valve, though

The handle on mine is plastic. It is hard, durable plastic. This unit is constructed very well. I bought mine about 9 months ago, and I use it almost daily. It does not get hot, works great, and is made in the USA!

The handle is hard plastic. But it is a very nice machete. Great for removing Barbarian heads upon the battlefield.

It is plastic, if there I different kinds of plastic, I wouldn't know what to tell you. Handle is also plastic as well as the wheels. Don't believe it is a good rough and tumble cooler...best for car travel, picnic areas, hotel rooms

Hello. The whole thing is made of plastic, with the exception of the metal blade. It works quite well.

The handle is plastic and very grippy. We store it in a knife block with Wusthof knives and it looks ok.

There's minimal (but existing) plastic on the inside, from the top of the handle. YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcAjRjv4_xA#t=40s

Hi,the handle is definitely hard plastic and the silver design is painted on. The sheith is made of vynal and broke after one use.you want to get a better one. The blade is metal and not sharp but it is pointed. It has a nice weight but is more of a display piece than for costumes.hope this helps.

I don't know the material the handle has in it. Probably rubber. I like it and it grips well when wet. It comes razor sharp and is very light.

The handle on mine feels like metal. I'm not sure what type of metal or if it's a plating but it does seem reasonably durable.

It is plastic (like a frizbee), with a built in handle (on the back). The one I bought for, for my Grandson, is holding up well (I gave it to him in February). And, he loves it!

The handle is not plastic, but the connection between the handle and the mop head are. this product is worth taking the chance on the plastic parts. I love it!

The handle is metal. The blade is hard plastic. I used it a few weeks ago for a 2 inch snow and it worked great. Was very pleased with it.
