The handle is plastic. Don't know if it's ABS or not, but it seems very sturdy and adequate.

It is abs, but is very strong,it has handled multiple heavy window jobs I have done

I don't think it's metal, but don't know exactly what abs is either. I think it is a hard, hard plastic...maybe that's abs. I'm happy to take some photos and send to you. They seem pretty well made and solid.

My opinion is an anodized material. It is very strong and easy to handle. Hope this helps

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.

Not sure the difference between abs plastic and other plastic, but overall a vet nice piece with good weight. Definitely no cheaply made.

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.

The material is ABS plastic and Stainless Steel construction so you should be find.

The current picture shows an all metal handle, the one that I bought last year has a blue plastic handle. The rest of the torque wrench is similar though.

Seems to be ABS type plastic. Haven't had any problems with it so far and it works well. It is a friction type retention.

It appears to be a high-grade aluminum -- except for the handle, which is plastic, and the feet, which are hard rubber. It's a great cane -- the more I use it the more I like it.

I am not familiar with the other model. This one has a metal core part with a metal screw and part of the handle is metal, but it is basically covered in hard plastic.

I am considering this as well- but in Amazon's description- it says: "material- ABS" - which is plastic-- can someone definitely confirm this is not chrome paint covering plastic?

I don't know the material the handle has in it. Probably rubber. I like it and it grips well when wet. It comes razor sharp and is very light.

So, the handle is either "solid stainless steel," "metal and rubber-like plastic on one side," "metal insert on one side . . . but plastic on the other three," "metal with a rubber coating for grip," "metal," or "plastic, and very weak." Thanks, folks!

Everything but the handle (plastic) is metal. The slide bar is steel and the miter fence is cast aluminum. Very good quality.

It is a metal handle with a plastic grip this item worked great for me as a homeowner. I busted up a side walk about 30' long and my son has used it several times without problems-- just make sure the oil level is kept up it seems to use oil. For the price it is well worth it and paid for itself

I think the model I have is plastic parts. I have had no problems with it as yet ( a few months ).

Metal. The foam I don't think would hold the powerful motor securely enough to not twist and bind. The motor needs to be mounted fairly square to the old handle shaft.
