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

Hello speedgeezer, the handles are plastic and the bearing that the cable spins on is steel. hope this helps.

Hello speedgeezer. Thanks for your question. The handles are plastic and there is a bearing in the handle that the cable spins on. Jump Rope Jack

No it's metal. It's a really nice safe. The dial spins smoothly and the handle feels strong.

Yes you should as I believe those would be the ball bearings that are used to smoothly move the cable pulleys up and down when weight is on them. Sounds to me that the tracks that hold the ball bearings are compromised and you should not use it.

The ball bearings are ceramic but the races are steel. Fortunately there is no metal to metal contact, thus no chance of rust. These are extremely fast!!!! Very smooth, and impeccably quiet!

Yes, the handles are non rolling attached to the central shaft. There are 9-1" rollers that each roll independently. I'm very happy with the purchase.

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.

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.

No. The whole thing is hard plastic. The only rubber is the hook on the cord right where the handle ends.

No, I think they're just plain old cast metal. I do however, think (judging by weight) that the moving parts are hardened steel.

no the spindle on the bottom is made out of rubber. this device does a good job cleaning and has never done any damage to the pool

They have a metal handle with rubber cover/end cap and typical plastic center piece with SS hardware, but very-very well made. I use this one in my kayak, it floats but I nevertheless drilled a hole in the very end to put a permanent lanyard on it lest I lose it like so many things that can fall off a small fishing kayak. I love the thing and thinking about buying a larger one for my flats boat. regards steve

I believe the handle spins... good quality rod. It does not flex like cheaper ones.

The handle is plastic, but the crank arm is metal. The retaining mechanism for the grinding wheels have some plastic components, but overall are of excellent quality. If you are worried about wear and tear, there are some inexpensive replacement parts on offer from the manufacturer.

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 handle to the crank is hard black plastic, not of metal as shown in one of the pictures, if they changed is not what they are selling us. The twist-end for the clamp is metal. I dropped the handle many times and remains intact, it is of very good quality.

Yes Rubber handle and the shaft goes thru so you can use hammer on it without damage and they are made by Mayhew in USA!
