What material are the needles made of? Metal, Bamboo? plastic??

The needle part is a hard plastic. I had one break, the smallest one at the point where it connects. I was to hard with it because I forced it as I attached it to the cable. :( The cable part is a more flexible plastic. They are well made. They hold up very well. You just have to look at the direction you are twisting the needle when you attach it to the cable mount. If you force it the wrong way on the mount, you could damage the mount or needle tip. The variety is great, you can change needles easily while in a project. You can add cable to make it as long as you need it for any big project. The different size cables interchange to make a variety of lengths. They slide very easy on any kind of yarn and don't make your hands tired. They are very easy to use, and travel well. I've had nothing but pleasure using this set and SO happy I bought them! It's a great idea! I got this set mostly by the cost. I could not afford the metal ones but I am very happy with my purchase and do highly recommend them. I am a novice at knitting, so this was a less expensive way to get going without buying all the individual sets. I hope my answer helps with your question.

They are made of a rigid plastic and are flexible. I have used them multiple times with no problems. They are very sharp.

not experience this item with needles, but i bet i ll work just fine, since needles are light pieces of metal basically, its just long screws or to many of then that you get to loose then from the wrist band.

Metal..they're supposed to snap in but some don't align so you can just duct tape them

Sorry, my daughter just told me the bobbins are metal. But again the thread quality is poor.

They are made out of something other than ordinary plastic. Silicon is my best guess, they era so flimsy and difficult to handle I can't recommend them. If bpa is what you find in the cheapest of products...my guess is it's in these items.

They're metal. I would have guessed aluminum, but they're ferrous so probably some alloy.

Chrome Plated Brass, as with most good airbrushes. The needles are polished stainless steel

They are made of a plastic material. Used them for my destination wedding and they worked great for traveling.

These ones are made of bamboo, some are bamboo and charcoal, and some are also hemp. Bamboo is a lot like micro fiber it's just more sustainable.

They were made in China. These are not bad, depending on what kind of material you are throwing at. I have had one of these bend a tip on anything much harder then wood. The dagger style i have found to be a bit sturdier.

I actually don't know. I thought at first it was PVC, but when I strike metal against it, it doesn't sound like plastic (and I can't remove it to inspect closer). So, yeah, it might be. But it might be nylon too. It isn't steel - perhaps on the pepper mill.
