Is the handle REALLY, REALLY sturdy? What is it made of?

The handle is two pieces of metal tubing (so the mop can fit into a box for shipping). The two parts are screwed together with a plastic sleeve. In my opinion, that junction is the weak point and there is a very slight flex there. It is sturdy enough for mopping and I still love my DynaMop.

This is a very well built, sturdy mop and bucket. I have been using mine for about 6 months or more. What a back saver. I have been very impressed with the ease of use and the durability.

The handle is metal and plastic connecter. It is reasonably sturdy. I have (thru no fault of my own) 10 cats and at times as many as 4 dogs to clean up after. The mop gets a good workout. I am still pleased with the system.

Have not had any issues using it but I am not "rough" on my mops so not quite sure if this will answer your question or not.

I think it's solid. It's a really heavy for sure. The handle is made of some kind of metal and the black handle portion is a protective rubber. It would do some real damage if you dropped it on your foot.

The handle requires some strength to attach to the actual mower (we needed two people to apply tension to attach it) and once in place, is very sturdy. It is not particularly flimsy at all, in my opinion.

I'm sorry..I should have mentioned that little part. Yes, the entire scooper is made of sturdy metal ( won't bend or snap ) with a foam covering over the handle.

The handle is sort of rubberized and I think the blade is just molded inside of it. Very sturdy, I have cut down trees with it.

The handle is steel but the orange plastic coating it VERY thick. I think they are extremely durable. I bought 6 of them to give to my sister/sister- in-laws.

The handle feels plenty strong. It does appear to be a very hard alloy and is acceptable.

it is extremely sturdy. the shovel itself is plastic and the handle is metal. and there's a metal cutting edge. say goodbye to back pain as there is no lifting. just glide it over the snow bank and pull it back swiftly. what used to take me an hour and a half with a shovel is now about 20 minutes. best money I ever spent.

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.

The one I got has a wooden handle. Fairly sturdy, still going well after three years of steady-to-heavy use in a professional setting.

The black handle is made of some type of plastic, however, I have no idea what it is. You'd have the ask the manufacturer.

It is steel. I use it every day. There is a rubber seal in the lid to help secure it to the base. And the handle is hard plastic.

the handle is ABS plastic. very durable but a little narrow for my big hand.

It's made out of aluminum with a stainless steel handle. We're very pleased.

It was bought as a gift to someone as such I didn't inspect it too much .. but I believe the handles are not of foam material but hard plastic. Hope this helps.

It seems to be sturdy. Is there a problem with this handle or will I encounter a problem with this handle???????

As for quality.....I see what S. VILLAGOMEZ says, the handle materiel ( plastic ) could be made sturdier.....however the pole and screw portion are accepting strong. Remember it's a light weight design " to be easily carried " and it is light. And I love mine. The handles work just fine but you need to exercise " finesse "
