The one I purchased had metal but plastics should last. Its no like buying tires for you car.

The pulleys themselves are made of plastic. The side shields are metal. I found the pulleys hung too low from the door to be useful. They needed to be at least two feet higher.

Plastic. Burning did not have any issues. You should be pulling these back and forth fairly slowly.

As the previous person noted, metal and plastic. Do you want to buy my set? My husband used for about two weeks after surgery, they are in excellent condition.

The pulleys are metal. Non-magnetic. They seem adequate. Overall, I am quite pleased with this press for light to moderate bench top use.

Metal, the cylinder is made of plastic. Appears to be fairly sound. We use this every weekend since the purchase.Absolutely love the set.

Metal. Pretty well made and sturdy. Our almost 3 year old grandson loves the trucks we got him.

From what I can see,the actual pulley wheels are a very tough white plastic,running on a metal spindle and enclosed by a tough grey plastic casing suspended on a metal hook.Nothing cheap and nasty about them. Des Davey

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

I don't know what metal are made from but I got these hangers couple years ago and they are suitable (based on their load rating) for my 5 years old. This year I was looking to build a big porch swing and I was looking for something much heavier duty than these and got a pair from American swing web site. I cannot post the url here, Amazon might delete it, just google "American Swing" and go to "swing hangers" on the left menu.

I have used my Bayou fitness for almost 2 years, almost on a daily basis, and had no problem with the pulleys and I am a big guy. So I don't think you have to worry about the strength of the plastic pulleys.

The pulleys are metal. My kayak weighs 65 lbs and it pulls up to the ceiling above the garage door no problem. The trick is to pull one end a little at a time instead of both at once.

The pulleys are made of plastic. Not sure of the gauge of metal in the frame but it is pretty sound. The only issue I have had after over a year of daily use by 3 family members is the plastic coating starts to come off the cables and one of the pully bushings has worn out. Other than that it has performed very well for out needs.
