Are the handle and cover metal?

They seem to be. My father installed the shower head and handle, so I didn't get a good look at the product before it was installed. In using the handle daily, it seems to be metal. Sorry, I could not be more specific.

I just received one today, opened the box, and the cover was plastic. Not sure if someone else swapped them as the one they sent me was an obvious return...Just FYI! I returned the one they sent me,

All metal. Rubber over the metal handle. Feels solid in the hand. It will handle alot of abuse.

Absolutely! I have used them for years on my Calphalon pots and pans. I couldn't use them without the handle covers!

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 round cover is certainly not chrome-plated metal. It is coated plastic. The only exposed component that is metal is the handle itself which is chrome-plated brass if I'm not mistakened. But in answer to your question, the round cover is plastic.

They have a metal handle with rubber cover/end cap and typical plastic center piece with SS hardware, but very-very well made. I use this one in my kayak, it floats but I nevertheless drilled a hole in the very end to put a permanent lanyard on it lest I lose it like so many things that can fall off a small fishing kayak. I love the thing and thinking about buying a larger one for my flats boat. regards steve

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

Yes the blades are metal but are held on by thick plastic. The handle is plastic so I would not use it for commercial use but with care it should last a longtime with care. It has server my family well the kids love to make snowcones.

No, they are not. Only the handles are stainless. The rest is chrome plated steel. A simple magnet is all that's required to prove this. Stainless steel is not magnetic. So if the magnet sticks to it, it is not stainless.

They seem to be. The handle detaches and the rest of it is all metal. I use them in my camper and wash them in the sink.

Yes. With alloy handle. Very durable, won't scratch your pistol. And it's very dependable. I own four .

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.

Unfortunately no. The handles have plastic on the undersides. Otherwise, they're absolutely fantastic.

Yes, there is a plastic insert which is screwed into the top half of the handle.I would suspect it is to keep you from picking up a hot all metal handle. It's very well made.

The handle is metal. The tines (tynes??) are metal. The red thing at the bottom that fits on the handle and holds the tines is plastic.

Metal, but they don't hold on to those, they have handles on the front and back

The handles are metal and look just like the ones that cost six bucks apiece. You wont be disappointed.
