Are the pulleys plastic or cast iron?. thanks

The pulleys are a synthetic material of some sort, probably a phenolic, and seem to be of good quality. Plastic often denotes a cheap product but I don't think this is the case here. It would be a rare bird indeed today to find cast iron drive components in products of this sort.

Glass-reinforced plastic.Not a bad press if you don't drill too big or too deep. I finally used construction adhesive to hold the chuck in place.

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.

They are plastic. I have had this for a month now with no problems at all. I don't crank down on the fittings when I tighten them however

The reel wheels are metal and the winding mechanism is plastic. So far, both have held up well.

The blades (both of them) are stainless steel as is the shaft connecting the blades to the underside rotor.All I can see, other than what I described above is plastic.

They are all plastic. No metal. After some use they rust. Will not last long. They only turn on with motion. So if your stopped they will not be on.

Plastic. They snap together instead of requiring a tool, like the metal ones do. These are adequate for lightweight fabrics and light-duty use.

From what I can see,the actual pulley wheels are a very tough white plastic,running on a metal spindle and enclosed by a tough grey plastic casing suspended on a metal hook.Nothing cheap and nasty about them. Des Davey

the only thing I can tell you is that I had a plastic one before I replaced with the cast iron andit lasted almost 10 years. Both worked well.

Plastic. I think they all are plastic. Still works fine. Just lube all the points when door is exposed. You have to provide the bolts or rivets. I just used a sharpy to color the bolt heads. Autozone was about 15 times more expensive.

The pulleys on mine are plastic...dark gray with a silver metal housing. This should be considered a light duty rig....it works fine for my occassional use. And the two ton rating? Maybe that's the breaking point.. I would think the safe working load would be less than 500 pounds.

Plastic. However, my wife overloads them with a LOT of weight, and we have no problems whatsoever. I will buy more for our 2nd laundry room, once I finish that one.

The ones I got were metal, they look great, but I did hear some of them are plastic too... I would call them to make sure..

I believe the handles are aluminum but the gears appear to be reinforced fiber glass. They work very well. I consider them to be a high quality product and am pleased I bought them.

They are plastic. But they are tough and hold up well. My table has been outside for over 5 years and still looks like a new table (in Nashville, then Atlanta). I replace the net about once every two years. The wheels have pedal locks. They roll fine on an outdoor rug on my deck.

They are plastic. Heavy plastic. I am satisfied with their quality. It's a fun set for our office basement game room.

Hey G.Harder the pulley wheel's are plastic. But this model is rated for heavy object's. I have used mine to hold up my wheelbarrow to open up floor space and have not had any problem's. The only change I made was with the way the rope was secured in the block, instructions say to tie a knot at the end of the rope but I was not satisfied with that so I bought a couple cable clamp's at hardware for $.99 cent's and clamped the rope around one of the mounting bolt's and feel safe working under it now. I'm very happy and satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking.

The ones that allow the legs to swing are metal with a metal push button. The leg extension locks are metal except for the little arm to lock them in place. That part is plastic.
