Arun, The first one I purchased over 5 years ago is metal,my new one purchased a few months ago appears to be plastic (I haven't used it yet). I hope it works well,but now that you have called this to my attention I am dubious.

It is metal. The Amazon description can tell you more. And I remember those metal of years ago, but I remember how I loved it. Just wish I still had those treasures of days gone by now. Hope it works out for you and I hope I helped you somewhat.

I believe that it is plastic. But it looks fine and is holding up fine. Have had no issues with it and we both like it.

It's plastic. It is very durable. I have one that is at least 10 years old and still kicking.

It is plastic. I don't really reccomend it though. On ours the battery didn't work and it broke within a month. It just wasn't good quality.

Hi, YES it is metal. I would think it will last longer and be better than plastic. I would change.

Mostly plastic, part metal. However, I literally had to pick up the thing and inspect it for the answer -- it doesn't look like cheap plastic, and the base is heavy to keep it steady.

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

it is metal....comes with a removable plastic guard that snaps into place. I've had one for years and never used the guard though.

It is NOT plastic. Whether it's chrome or another kind of metal, I don't know, but it is metal and quite sturdy.

It is indeed metal, a fairly cheap steel but perfect for its purpose. I've been very happy with mine.

It is metal, and very durable. I bought this for my daughter who was 11 at the time, and it survived with out a scratch. :)
