Yes, get this thing!! I threw up a hail mary.. couldn't go wrong with the price! Stacks up with $300 M4s I have. Been running a 11.1 15c lipo..for a while now.. no sign of wear.

Yes for the most part, it has metal axles for the wheels. INCREDIBLY DURABLE!!!

You can buy metal gears separately for $10. We had one with the regular hard (plastic?)gears they come with, lasted a few years

Yes it does. The metal is real weak at the weld points.... ours broke after like 2 months; It worked great until it broke. I had to have it re-welded.

There are no gears. it is a direct drive if you will and it is all metal. That is why I bought this unit because I have had both plastic and metal gears and inevitably the gears were clunky and got messed up. This turns real smooth and I expect it to last a long time. My biggest problem with the unit is that the top was slightly oblong and makes it a nuisance to put the spring loaded lid on. It may just be my unit that does that as it may have been slighly bent in shipping, but overall, I find it great to make popcorn in. Also, after experimenting with different popcorn, I found that Snap Paks 4oz works best if you can find some at your local concessionary. http://www.iowapopcorn.com/snpa4ozpopo.html There are no gears. it is a direct drive if you will and it is all metal.

no it does not - it only has the shifter to put in low 1, high 2 & reverse . very happy it does not have a key or my grandkids would have lost it by now!

No it does not. It's thick hard plastic. No metal protection or shock protection.

The only metal parts are the internals such as the barrel, trigger mechanism and magazine. The slide is fixed and so is the slide catch. The Hammer is just for show but it does move back if you pull it back, it goes back into place by itself because held by a spring. Even though all of this is the case, I love the pistol. It's very accurate and very powerful.

Not sure if it is the same as the 20 dx but I already had to send mine back to Okuma - my old model with same model number had metal gears and worked fine This new one I purchased from Amazon my local repair guy did not even want to touch because of its poor quality . Good Luck

Don't know if it has a warranty. My experience has been that it is its own warranty. Make sure you buy the one that has all metal gears.

no, but there are other Engino sets that have motors. Simple machines concentrates on understanding how the different types of gears work and for what types of projects they lend themselves to.

mine had a steel gear with a plastic bendix drive! same as the original! had to do slight modification to mounting surface were it meets the block to fit totally flat!

It has very durable steel gears and blades, there is hardly any plastic in this machine. It is VERY powerful and plastic would not hold up to the HP it puts out!!

One would think for the price of this, it would all be metal. Unlike what someone else said, the gears/wheels are not metal; they are plastic with a rubber belt turning it. The item the hose winds around is metal. The item which slides back and forth to apply the hose evenly across the reel is plastic too; but, it does slide on the metal frame. The biggie for me is the "handle is metal"; this is the part I have always had rip off when I had plastic handles on previous junk. Thus far, this item is working very smoothly.

Mine has metal gears that were loose when the unit arrived, but just required tightening. I've used it about 20 times in six weeks and it appears to be in perfect condition. If the gears ever wear out in normal use, it will surprise me. Perhaps they have addressed, and improved, a weakness?

Hi, it's metal and the tool works awesome. Very nice build quality. The trigger is plastic, so that is not ideal. Overall, it's the best bang for your buck, I've had cheaper ones and they are junk.

yes it has still gears. It has a one year warranty. And it was made in China.
