How is the overall quality of Auxiliary handle and depth gauge? I have read couple of reviews saying it is made of cheap plastic. Is that true?

yeah its plastic, but what you want these days....the drill itself I am very satisfied with.

It will work fine.....if you take care of the drill. Same plastic quality as most small inexpensive hand tools. Lend it to your neighbor or friend or job helper and when they return it broken you'll hear the excuse "i don't know, it just broke pal." .

You will be more disappointed the fact that the handle is plastic. advice find a better because you won't be happy with the price quality ratio. just how i felt about it yes full tang but couldn't tell you about the edge i bought it was disappointed and put it up never used

Yes, it is normal do not worry about that, seems the handle is made of aluminium, then can save weight, it works really good when you want to cut down a tree around 4 or 5 inch diameter when you a in the wood, it is faster than a saw : ), I have take it to wood many times, most time use it as ax, sometime use it to dig a hole, and bury some deer cane. Best

Yes. This is a GREAT little item. I bought another one after using the first one, so I can give to my son. It lets me get into small areas to cut that I could never do with anything other than a unit like this. Depth gauge was a great improvement over the prior version, as is the better hand gripping configuration.

The handle is very ridiculously hollow plastic. Mine broke after a slice to a cardboard box. Everything on this sword is great and then they put a super cheap joke of a handle on it. Be prepared for it to break after only swinging it, or know you will have to make a new handle.

the handle is made of plastic. many grill brushes are. my personal problem with this one was the adhesive that kept the sockets of bristles in place. cleaning the grill while it was on high heat apparently loosened or melted away the glue and chunks of bristles were falling out! i know bits of bristles fall out over time but not chunks and when I only used it like 4 or 5 times!!! decent brush but not the "industrial grade" it claims to be.

The handle is rubberized and offers great grip. Not sure if there is plastic under it though.

No, the handle was broke when I got it new. I put a piece of conduit over it to salvage the unit. The stock handle is junk, but now it works well for me.

One would think for the price of this, it would all be metal. Unlike what someone else said, the gears/wheels are not metal; they are plastic with a rubber belt turning it. The item the hose winds around is metal. The item which slides back and forth to apply the hose evenly across the reel is plastic too; but, it does slide on the metal frame. The biggie for me is the "handle is metal"; this is the part I have always had rip off when I had plastic handles on previous junk. Thus far, this item is working very smoothly.

I didn't have any issues with the handle. Mine was the foot petal on the bucket that broke 2 times. Not well made.

Good question. I tried to twist and bend the plastic handle and it did not flex at all. It appears to be made of high impact plastic and is very sturdy. I trust it will do the job.

Yep --- All you will need is a flat head screw driver and hook up the 12 volt power and GOOD TO GO. The description is a tad deceiving as I was not sure either if the transducer came, but it does. This has (thus far) been a VERY good depth finder. I had $800 ones on my off shore baot and in shallow water this is as good as a high $$$ one

The main part of the handle and extension part is metal. The part that is connected to the head is plastic....it's very sturdy and the handle can be adjusted to just about any length, long or short, that you'd want.

I have had no problems with the handle. It doesn't get hot and hasn't loosened at all. Please note however that when I tighten the upper portion to the bottom I do not use the handle for leverage. I grip the body of both the top and bottom to tighten. Also what is difficult to see in the pictures is that the black plastic on the handle is made of two pieces which run vertically along both sides of the handle and leaves a strip of the metal exposed. It doesn't seem to affect usability though. It's just something that was not apparent from the photos.

Hello Debra, I purchased one of these handles when my old one wore out after 6 years. I am very pleased with my new handle. It is a nice lite blue color and also has a massage function for your gums and it came in a handy zipper travel case. Go ahead and buy it. Much cheaper than replacing the whole works. Bunny Naeole

The handle is hollow hard plastic, the blade is rubber. There's an integral spring tension clip screwed into the end of the handle for mounting on a rifle. It looks decent but it's not made for real training use.

I ordered one and my rod is 4.4mm and the tip is 5mm thick. This depth indicator isn't the best it shuts off and can be hard to turn but I paid only 20$ for mine and when it is turning on its pretty accurate. The other prob I had with this is the rest is made of plastic so if u have to be super persice this might not be your best bet. I hope this helps you!!
