what material is the piston made out of, plastic or metal?

Metal, the cylinder is made of plastic. Appears to be fairly sound. We use this every weekend since the purchase.Absolutely love the set.

The piston is metal put if you push too hard it cracks the hard plastic cylinder cover.

It is metal but not sure what, probably a heavy aluminum. It works wonderfully, I just bought a second one for my sister.

Yes, I've popped open the gearbox to replace the spring (for bettr compression and higher fps) the gears and body are metal, the piston is polymer, as well as the guide.

The only metal part, that I can tell, is the spring. Everything else is plastic but it's very durable plastic.

Its not all plastic. the spring is metal and the inside of the chamber is also metal.

Plastic and it worked great for about 5 years. Recently I used it to mix sausage balls and it broke. Probably a combination of age and a really thick mixture.

Plastic, but really high grade, basically OEM. My dad was really happy with them.

The exterior, and most if not all of the internal parts are plastic. Decent quality plastic, none of that flimsy stuff that looks like it''s break if you blow on it to hard, but plastic. As for the barrel, I'm pretty sure that is metal.

Metal. If u bang it on the floor or table it will dent it. Other than that its great!

Plastic. That aside this is the best "little" drill drill press I have owned. I don't do heavy drilling on a bench model. I would buy it again.

As far as I can tell, it is metal. We have had no problems with it in the past year. The on/ off lever works like it was new and the stream/ spray switch on the head is still going strong.

I want to say plastic . I was dumb and bought a used machine guaranteed for 6 months and sure enough 5 and a half months later it quit so I threw it out. It was to say the least a disappointment and another thing it is a tiny piece of machinery

The part that sticks into the barrel is plastic. The part that sits on the end of the barrel is metal.

Plastic. Make sure you don't hook it up directly to the battery as it will slowly drain it. Hook it to either a switch or after the ignition.

Hi, it's metal and the tool works awesome. Very nice build quality. The trigger is plastic, so that is not ideal. Overall, it's the best bang for your buck, I've had cheaper ones and they are junk.

It is made of plastic, nylon and metal. There's no problem with metal parts. This is a great pop filter.

The tube and internal parts(of the tube) are metal. However, the handle, trigger, adjustment are nylon/plastic. It does seem to be holding up well so far.I've run four cans of foam through the beast. Doesn't seem like much, but I am able to foam more controllable, wasting less.
