What's under the nickel plating? Steel tips, but what is the body of the needle made of?

I don't know, but I can tell you that it's a very light material. The nickel plating does not come off easy as I have been using the same pair for several projects. I hope this information helps you. I love having the set, the cables are flexible and the needles are super light. The only difficulty I have is reading the numbers on the needles so I make sure that I get them back in the same spot in the organizer bag. Overall a nice purchase for me.

The entire portion below the center silver ring seems to be metal. Everything above that is a very heavy weight plastic that looks metallic. It's a great pencil, with heavy weight and greta feel.

Metal. I scraped the surface in a small hidden area and it was silver underneath.

It's a refined stainless steel body, with, I believe, zinc alloy being used for the razor bed. For the price, it's difficult to find better.

Now that I am looking at the ad and the other answers, I am no longer sure. I could have sworn they were lined with nickel and had an inner cup. Skip my previous answer since I can't look at them.

I am not 100% sure only because I use it as my "spare key" ...but I could almost bet that it is definately made out of the nickel plated brass because most keys are.

Metal. Took the tip of my finger off when I touched it (yes, I reached into the chute).

I wish I could help you. I gave it as a gift, so it's no longer in my possession. I was under the impression that it was all copper, but I guess I don't really know if it was plated or not. I hope not!

Near as we could tell, it was aluminum, but I have no idea about the "Brooklyn" part. Also, save yourself a headache and don't buy it. We had to send it back when it broke within the first two hours of use.

Nickel plated exterior with a plastic coated interior. My only observation is that some people tend not to completely shut off the valve after dispensing their beveage.

Thank you SG; I mistakenly thought this was the copper core, not the aluminum. Everything else you stated is spot on though. Thanks for the help!

To tell you the truth, I don't really know. I always assumed it was aluminum, and if I had to guess, the knife, fork, and spoon (made by a different company) are made from a different metal. So if this were a guessing game, my choice is aluminum pan and stainless steel knife, fork, and spoon. My frypan is marked U.S. Wyott,

I actually don't know. I thought at first it was PVC, but when I strike metal against it, it doesn't sound like plastic (and I can't remove it to inspect closer). So, yeah, it might be. But it might be nylon too. It isn't steel - perhaps on the pepper mill.

Steel. It appears to be stainless. It does not appear to be full tang though.

The tip has a roller. Not sure about the material. Feels like aluminum though.

Don't remember but it's the only steel one out there. Gets rusty after a while. don't recommend.

Wire is coated. Cannot see the wires. The probe is metal. Possibly stainless steel.
