Are the valve control levers made of plastic or metal?

They are metal with a soft rubber cover to project your fingers and very strong.

April 23, 2014. Ms. LeeJai Cook, Roaring Springs TEXAS.Hello, MTC. I just now examined the valve control levers.They are not metal. On the other hand, they do not look likeordinary plastic. They feel more like some kind of rubber.I hope this helps.Best wishes.

The levers are a very solid and dense plastic and are larger than most. Easier to turn them on and off.

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.

They are made of a thick rubber compound, not plastic. Read my review for installation and modification tips.

The end of the handle is plastic as is the clamp turner, but the rest is metal. This hasn't been a problem so far.

Appears to be a non-slip matte finish plastic. My guess is they have a metal core. Note: Handles are smaller than they look in the picture because the jump-cable is very slender.

The clamps are indeed made of plastic, but are rather beefy in construction. They should hold up as long as they aren't run over by vehicles or clamped to exhaust manifolds or other very hot surfaces.

The jaws are rubberized metal. The clamp lever is plastic and probably wouldn't hold up to daily abuse for long, but for the amateur weekend mechanic it's plenty durable.

They are plastic , I have a harbor freight unit for my bike also and that one is very easy to operate , the biggest problem with this one is once the kayak is in it , you will have to stand to the side of the pulley / kayak and pull in an angle and it is almost impossible . I am going to modify it by adding a pulley in place of locking pulley/ mechanism and move the locking unit further forward.

The inside from the connection end to the spout is brass. The spring loaded valve at the outlet that controls the water direction is plastic.

The handles are made of plastic and the dotting ends themselves are made of metal

I think they are plastic. Just want to say that I love this calculator. High quality for the price, sturdy and lasts. I've bought cheap calculators, the no-name kind and they don't hold up and just are not ergonomically friendly. But one is the kind to buy a few of to keep in every desk drawer or purse, etc. Great feel and quality.

Lever is metal. Everything is pretty much metal except for the wing nut to adjust the tilt.

I'm guessing brass. Just an open close valve, doesn't seem complicated to me.

They are metal. I just pop my comb in then bring my lever up and then they slide into place.

The crimp on the hose & portion that pushes vale in on a standard tank are metal. The collar that screws onto the tank is plastic.

Looks like metal, feels like metal but don't really know. Valve operation is smooth and works wonderfully.

Polymer I believe. They are definitely a plastic of sort but not that cheap China stuff. I am very happy with these grips.
