Based on the Mason Pearson web site http://www.masonpearson.com/why.html I believe the handle is plastic. They say "The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.". It may be plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap or plasticy. The handle is just the right weight and has a very nice feel.

The handle appears to be a hard wood. I LOVE this tool. It makes gardening a joy.

The handle is made from a heavy plastic covered in a fake leather, the actual head of the hammer is plastic. It looks good for the cheap price

Mine came in a Back to basics box. The handle is wood. the remainder of the tool is metal and a sturdy weight.After reading the comments, I immediately read the directions when it arrived and made the recommended adjustments. I did 50 pounds of apples in an afternoon without difficulty.

It looks to be a high density plastic and probably hollow. Definitely not wood or metal. Holds up well.

The item I received was definitely plastic. Lightweight and it's more durable than the molded wood that I've had in the past. Good luck with your decision.

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

Wood. It is very durable and my granddaughter plays with it every day. We are getting the kitchen for the holiday to do with it.

It is steel. I use it every day. There is a rubber seal in the lid to help secure it to the base. And the handle is hard plastic.

The end of the handle is plastic as is the clamp turner, but the rest is metal. This hasn't been a problem so far.

Mine has a built in metal handle, no plastic. Don't know if they've changed the design since I bought it....

It's plastic, but very sturdy. We used it for my daughter's baby shower and it worked perfectly.

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

The handle is plastic. Don't know if it's ABS or not, but it seems very sturdy and adequate.

the doors are wood, and the handles are plastic. Durable though, we have had our kitchen a year and a half and it has held up great!

The handle is made of plastic and metal. The black parts are plastic, but it's really heavy duty material, better than what they make cars out of.
