What material are the crimping jaws made out of - plastic or metal?

The clamp box has 4 hardened plastic actuating pieces that squeeze the cork as the plunger bar is pressed downward toward the cork. It is very strong, I have corked hundreds of bottles thus far with no problems. Hope that helps! It's a great buy, easier to use, and more accurate than using handheld corkers.

The cork crimper is made of a hard plastic. I bottled 25 bottles last week and it worked great. I suppose after time plastic deteriorates and could cause an issue.

Metal. They were of excellent quality. I ended up buying 100+ to use at my wedding.

Plastic. The problem with this contraption is the wire mesh. It just does not provide a good seal. I've tried everything to try to create a better seal, but nothing really works

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.

It is well made of hard plastic. Be careful of sharp edges where seams meet.Worked well for us when seams were sanded smooth.

The mesh is definitely not plastic, it is some sort of fine woven metal, sorry but not able to tell exactly which metal.

Some kind of plastic that is pretty rigid . They do not bend or shape to fit teeth. They were much too small for me.

steel....no plastic parts. My very picky husband who will only use good equipment. No "junk". He was well pleased.

It's metal, but the problem is the screws going into the head come loose constantly so you have to take the head apart to tighten them. If you don't have a hex wrench on you, you're screwed.

Metal. Of some sort. Possibly aluminum as it is light weight. That said it is sturdy and works well. Used it last night to get juice out of a Naval orange for cranberry bread. Good tool for large fruit- juiced a Ponderosa lemon a while back with no trouble

The edge guide, rods and adjusting collar are all made of metal; The thimble, which does the micro-adjusting, is made of plastic. It's a good solid edge guide with repeatability.

I am not sure, however I have repaired 3 devices now and had no problems with the bit's (metal construction) falling apart or losing their shape. The prybars are plastic however i used the Indemo product in conjunction with this kit.

Thank you. Mine's a "drop in". I'm concerned about how things clamp to the "metal". Are the jaws metal or hard/soft plastic/rubber?

Plastic. It ripped apart fast. So I'm not very happy with my purchase. I had to stop using it

Pry bars are plastic and the drivers are metallic. Great combo for fixing any small electronics.

The mesh portion is metal. The black portions (which I think are there to hold the mesh metal together) are plastic.
