Is the clamp plastic or metal? Is it padded?

I really don't remember. I threw this in yhe garbage because it was rendered useless after using it twice. I would suggest you spend a little more money for something that would be more effective

Sorry I was wrong...I just looked & the clamp appers to be metal with a plastic covering

The clamp is metal with a fairly stiff spring and it is padded with foam on both sides.

Yes the clamp is metal and the part that would clamp on to a shelf etc has padding on it. I clamped it to a shelf near my computer for extra light.

Yes, the clamps are metal and coated. I have been using this machine for probably 2 years now. Since this is just for home use, I have strung about 60 rackets. The machine still work fine without much maintenance. Full stringing takes about 45 mins without pre-string.

The clamps are metal with a plastic overlay. They are not as nice as the picture shown on the advertisement. The clamps have worked very well for me so far but I have only used them seven or eight times and I keep it out of the cold. For me being in MN I was scared (still am) that if I left them in my garage the hot and cold weather would weeken the claps because they are not made exclusively out of metal as shown in the photos.

It's metal. This thing is pretty sturdy. been using it non stop for a few weeks and i have yet to have issues with it.

The footpad is plastic. The rest is metal, mostly aluminum. I have the stand on an older Cannondale and on a new Diamondback. I would highly recommend.

It is plastic and I concur with Terry...it is of good quality and is quite sturdy.

Sorry, don't know. I can say though that the part opposite the lever is plastic, and can be difficult to get a secure clamp without it slipping.

Nope- its some form of plastic- that said, its comfortable, and fairly nice to a grip on.

No, it is not plastic. It isn't heavy gauge metal, but it is a good instrument for beginners.

Plastic. Actually, I think it is acrylic. It is quite thick, sturdy and attractive, with the name sort of engraved in the surface. It is substantial enough to hold my Stax and my Senn. HD-800 quite securely. I bought two. :-)

There is a clamp. You can't actually see it in the picture because it fits to the bottom of the grey base and secures it to the edge of a table or a counter. Overall, the clamping mechanism is all metal and very solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.

The one I received is all metal. The only plastic part is the wheel at the bottom, used to tighten the the vice onto a table. Rubber is used as a pad against the table and as vice jaw pads. And a good little vice it is.

It is metal, feels light like aluminum but is most likely some sort of pot metal. It is sturdy. There is a thin foamed protector taped to each half ( clam shell ) of the clamp. It's not quite canon quality but it is good quality, much cheaper then a canon mount if you can find one. I've been happy with it. I'll try to post a couple of pictures.

It's plastic. And it's very secure. We use our "watch" for all kinds of activities and have never had an issue with the clip

The handle itself is plastic but it is attached to a metal brace that is also the clamp with a non-slip pad. After fives years it's never worked itself loose when the surface is cleaned and properly dry

It is metal, but thin. It was strong enough for 6 keys, 1 regular and 5 small cart lock ones. I really liked this but like the other reviewer who answered below, the connection is what broke on mine, not the cable itself.
