What is the build quality of the appendage that locks the grips of the clipper together? Is it made of plastic? Metal?

On my unit the center is metal where the string cutter is located. The winder portion is plastic. As someone else reported, to cut strings you may want to use diagonal cutters from your workshop for ease of use.

Its a very durable feeling metal. It won't bend or fold for years most likely. Its all one solid piece and the handle part has a textured rubber mold on for grip. It won't slip off either

It's mostly heavy duty plastic but the movable part of the clip is metal. I really don't use the strap and cannot vouch for it during use. However, it does feel strong to me.

The grips are plastic. There is probably something internal that is plastic, but all of the "showy parts" are metal. It has a nice feel and heft to it. It really does appear very authentic.Mine fires well, and is reasonably accurate. Note... it is not a "blowback" type air pistol, but otherwise, is a good inexpensive way to practice your skills with a 1911 style pistol.I enjoy shooting mine a lot.

I have this clipper and it's a 10 but it came with a kit of plastic snap ons. It really doesn't make much of a difference. It gets the job done and I've been using it on my yorkie and chihuahua for a year now and it's a great product.

It is made of metal, not plastic. This is a fairly stout lock for its intended purpose. I used the one I bought on my 2007 Ram 1500. Worked great. I would refer this product to anyone.

there is a lock and once opened the clippers "spring" open and you have to squeeze the handle to clip or to close and relock. Hope this answers your question. I really like them.

There are plastic internal components, the grips are plastic, and the ejection port cover (part of the outer barrel under the metal slide) is plastic. Otherwise it is full metal.

The handle is made of a very hard, thick and substantial plastic substance. I am not concerned about it breaking. It's great and the gear mechanism makes easy to squeeze.

It's all metal except the "wood" rings around the grip which are brown plastic.

Stainless steel.I don't really use the clip too often. I use it on the key ring using the back loop on the handle It is a little bigger the a pocketknife but you can get away with it on your keys.

Hi, it's metal and the tool works awesome. Very nice build quality. The trigger is plastic, so that is not ideal. Overall, it's the best bang for your buck, I've had cheaper ones and they are junk.

It is some sort of plastic. But yes it is quite sturdy. The feature I especially like is that you can adjust the blade for how thin you want something sliced fantastic feature.also when putting it away you can turn the knob so the blade is harmless and you don't have to worry about storing it

The metal is slightly pliable so you can open and close the grips. That said, it's sturdy enough to stay in place once you've set it.
