Im sure they vary between models, but mine is a metal crank handle with a heavy vinyl pull cord. The cable feeds around a small plastic pulley at top. Seems very sturdy. Im sure it will outlast the umbrella fabric itself. Hope that helps.....

some kind of pvc/plastic. I've only had it a couple months, so hard to say if it will last for years, hope so. It is perfect to use on my outdoor table for small potting jobs.

Nothing, but rope. I chose to purchase the yellow tow rope and a spring. They are durable.

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

I don't know if you can get a crank but I used a couple of ratchet straps from wal mart to put tension on the net.

Standard clothes line, vinyl coated nylon rope. You can buy this stuff at any hardware store.

I would say some plastic fiber ish. I've broken a few of these arms and seem to splinter a bit

Higher blend of nylon,, it is a nice training rope. I also need an 8' training rope which I couldn't find anywhere. I ended up going to Lowe's buying nylon cord, a D ring, and some small cord to wrap the loop around the D ring to and made every size of training rope I needed for a fraction of the cost if you are a do-it your-selfer.

I don't use a cranking device I use the cocking harness. The short rope with rubber hooks. I am 65 and I have no problem cocking it.

Yes you need to buy the crank separately. Mine came with rope for cocking, which works good.

My opinion is an anodized material. It is very strong and easy to handle. Hope this helps

The synthetic cable works best. Easier and safer. Pulley can come in handy depending on what you plans are.

Single piece cranks are 1/2 inch. 3 piece cranks are 9/16. I found out the hard way.

The crank requires less effort while the rope is much faster. The rope is fine if you can pull it back

Metal. The foam I don't think would hold the powerful motor securely enough to not twist and bind. The motor needs to be mounted fairly square to the old handle shaft.
