Are the handles metal? Does the shaft that holds the cable spin on ball bearings in the handle?

Handles are plastic. Cables spin and ball bearings are on the outside of the shaft

Plastic handles and no ball bearings, but it's never held me back. I can do triple unders fairly easily with mine.

the handle is plastic and has no bearings. It has a small plastic arm attached to the handle. I've been using a lot and works well

The handles are plastic and no there are no ball bearing but for this type of jump rope there never are. The handles turn in a quick motion but the rope is very very light, too light for me

The head and baseplate are metal. The handle is plastic. I've worked with a few fluid heads and I find this excellent value for price.

Yes, this scooter has metal bearings. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ei2rb_dia-de-patineta-con-el-puma-barragan-2015_sport?start=2

I now own the Drive Medical #10273, which has the exact same pedals/handles as this model. Those two plastic parts have no ball bearings, not even any bushings; just a sloppy fitting through-hole to clear the 7/16" dia steel crank that they "spin" relative-to. Consequently the excessive play produces a click-clack noise.

The handles are I think polished aluminum with rubber on the underside for grip.They stay cool to the touch.

The rollers and axles are stainless, the body and hopper is aluminum. The handle is also steel.

Yes, all metal construction on the head of the tripod. Only rubber is on bottom of feet and grips for metal handles that attach to the head.

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.

The handle and the rod are stainless. The tube, and the top and bottom rings are aluminum. The foot of the jack and the bracket at the top that the lever attaches to is plastic. Both are pretty sturdy.

no it's screwed into metal making it tight to. In my opinion that's better than worrying about the handle slipping because I have to haul 20 pounds of ice across railroad tracks sometimes jerk the cart off the pavement when cars and trucks seem to think they own the road .

Hi, no the handle is metal and sturdy. Did not bow during our first season use last year.

They are steel shafts. Better good beginners set. The driver is a bit weak. Recommend getting a better driver.

Yes, the handle is steel with a wooden dowel where the hand-grip is. I do notice that it can tend to get a little cold on your hand when shoveling in very cold. I have spent over 15 hours pond-shoveling with this and the grip is pretty nice, sturdy wood, just a little cold at times.

The handle is plastic, but the grinding part is metal. One down notr to this product is the handle tightens up and then it's hard to turn. The solution I found was to unscrew the top part and turn it.

It is plated metal as others have stated but it is easy to keep clean. IMO, Merkur razor handles are among the better of the handles currently available. They work great.

I purchased mine last spring and the handle was made of both metal and plastic. The piece you grip is plastic while the sides that go to the tool are metal. It also rotates easily around the tool which I thought would be a problem but it actually was really convenient I thought. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again for the price, especially compared to name brand electric jackhammers. I've used it to rip up a basement floor, patio, and sidewalk. All with no issues. Sorry this is more info, I've just been really pleased with this tool.
