is the handle metal or plastic

Its plastic. And very weak. The metal only goes into the plastic handle for about 1/2". Mine snapped in half, I just posted a couple of photos.

It is a metal insert on one side that you see in the photo, but plastic on the other three so easy to grip.

So, the handle is either "solid stainless steel," "metal and rubber-like plastic on one side," "metal insert on one side . . . but plastic on the other three," "metal with a rubber coating for grip," "metal," or "plastic, and very weak." Thanks, folks!

The handle is aluminum. There are some other plastic parts, but they are durable. I have used one on my wood floors for a year.

Everything is metal except the brown grip on the handle and its a pretty sturdy plastic.

The handles are plastic, but not flimsy. We are living in trailer full time and find this faucet is perfect and inexpensive

I believe plastic, but we have not had any trouble with it! Best thing I bought since our door handle was broke!

Its a very durable feeling metal. It won't bend or fold for years most likely. Its all one solid piece and the handle part has a textured rubber mold on for grip. It won't slip off either

The kettle is metal. The inside is dark and appears coated. The handle is a hard plastic.

The handle is plastic, but the grinding part is metal. One down notr to this product is the handle tightens up and then it's hard to turn. The solution I found was to unscrew the top part and turn it.

It's a die cast metal and plastic handle like handle.... but not cheap... Its very nice though. Doesn't look cheap at least mine doesn't. Very charp.. but its a metal plastic mixed.

Metal and plastic. I've had mine for long enough time and several jobs for it to break. Still runs like it did when I first got it. I thought it would be disposable after a couple jobs but it seems like it might be around for a while.

It's plastic. It is very durable. I have one that is at least 10 years old and still kicking.

Yes, the outside of the handle is plastic, but I believe the actual handle mechanism is metal. When you're opening it, the motion feels solid so at least the innards is metal. If someone tries to turn the handle without knowing the combination, there's a feature that is meant to allow the handle to still turn without engaging the bolts. This is a security feature.

No. It's glass. There is a metal band holding the handle on but the part that isn't glass is plastic.
