Yes it is and very lightweight. Easy to handle, efficient for shoveling the snow. I've always liked aluminum shovels for shoveling snow as the snow doesn't stick/build-up on the shovel.

No. It sure looks like stainless. I am not 100% sure, though. It certainly doesn't look like aluminum.The seller should post this kind of information, I think.

Not being a metallurgist, I cannot say for sure, but it appears to be nothing but stainless steel. The aluminum looks to be entirely sandwiched in the base and not exposed anywhere.

The basic nozzle, trigger, frame and handle are all aluminum. There is a soft plastic cover surrounding the digital meter and a hard plastic cover over the handle.

It says steel but it's hard to tell and it works great under certain conditions. I found the length of the handle awkward. I am buying aToro electric snow shovel for my walkways/ dog paths and removing snow from my deck. Had I known.

Nope. I think it is aluminum..but it is quite light and comes well-packed in a carrier bag that is easy for transportation even with the included weights.

Yes it is all stainless. And appears to be quite sturdy. I am thinking about ordering another one :)

Yes, it is aluminum. It comes with a removable plastic cap for use when you're not using a fighting belt or chair.

Yes, the handle is steel with a wooden dowel where the hand-grip is. I do notice that it can tend to get a little cold on your hand when shoveling in very cold. I have spent over 15 hours pond-shoveling with this and the grip is pretty nice, sturdy wood, just a little cold at times.

It is certified all aluminum. Heats quickly and cleans up very nicely. Highly recommended.

No, it looks like aluminum. It feels too light to be steel. It works well, though. I have used it to make large batches of dough and the machine and the hook worked as well as my old Kithen Aid.

I've used mine on aluminum. There is a pad to soften the base. But as far as the tool doing a good job , it's a solid performer. Just find the right grit and matrix for the metal you're working on

Plastic. I was fooled as well it looks like metal but it is made of solid plastic Good shovel though. No issues with my tough Buffalo winter and is nice and light weight

Joe,There is no documentation regarding the grade of aluminum. My guess is that it isn't "tool grade" aluminum.

No, my shovel was sturdy and made it through the 2013 - 2014 record breaking snowstorm with flying colors. Is the handle all the way in?

Neither. It is a sturdy plastic. It remains to be seen how well this will hold up. I live in AL and we don't see much snow. When we do, it isn't too much. If you live in a state that experiences numerous snow events--some with significant accumulation--I would advise that you consider a shovel that does have an aluminum blade. I hope this helps.
