Is the lever made of plastic or metal?

As you can see by the products picture it is a pretty small lever, which is more for pointing to the direction of water flow, as you can turn the valve with the round knurled knob that the lever is on. I believe the lever is made of medal. The lever on the one I received actually points in the wrong direction of water flow, but for the price I can deal with it as the overall function of the valve is good, however this maybe a physical discrepancy that others would consider as a reason to not purchase it.

It is made out of plastic. The only metal parts are the crank and the disks. All of the gears are also made of plastic. The one I purchased worked fine for a few times, but then one of my children cranked too hard and stripped the plastic gears.

The gears are enclosed in a plastic sleeve. I'd guess plastic, but I cannot tell. Do NOT purchase this product until you've read my earlier comments on the opening/closing door not closing!

I read this before I ordered but the one I received had a plastic handle and clearly stated on the package (PLASTIC LEVER). I returned it for a refund.

I have the stainless steel model. The base and lever are metal. The pull-out faucet is plastic, but very nice. Don't know about the white model.

Metal I believe. So is the foot lever to open it and the lock for the cover.

Hi Mark. The release lever and the wing nut to adjust tilt is plastic. Everything else is metal. I must say, I am very much satisfied with my oben tripod monopod and heads.

Both made of metal and solid plastic good quality though.. I bought two of this but one seems not to be as fluid as the other.. For the price is a good choice

The suction cups are rubber. The body, handle as well as the small levers are plastic. The levers are the weak point as these are exposed to all the force. One lever broke on me and failed almost immediately. However, all similar and look-alike products may be made from different, more rugged materials but the levers seem to be plastic on all of the ones I looked at.

It is made of plastic. I do NOT recommend it. the suction cup works great but the part that holds the shower head spins around and drops the shower head.

There are plastic internal components, the grips are plastic, and the ejection port cover (part of the outer barrel under the metal slide) is plastic. Otherwise it is full metal.

It is a manual lever and very easy to use. They are plastic so I suggest being careful. I have not had any problems. Love it☺

it's made of metal. it isnt made of unbreakable iron or anything, but it's definitely a nice step up from plastic.

April 23, 2014. Ms. LeeJai Cook, Roaring Springs TEXAS.Hello, MTC. I just now examined the valve control levers.They are not metal. On the other hand, they do not look likeordinary plastic. They feel more like some kind of rubber.I hope this helps.Best wishes.

As far as I can tell, it is metal. We have had no problems with it in the past year. The on/ off lever works like it was new and the stream/ spray switch on the head is still going strong.

The levers are a very solid and dense plastic and are larger than most. Easier to turn them on and off.

It is just a pushbutton lever. Very easy on and off, and sturdy enough to do the job.
