plastic trigger and rubber grip and the nose/quick connect is metal on outer rim but where it screws on to gun its got plastic type threads, i was leary about that but it works great, as to holding up to abuse i couldnt say, as i dont use it every day but i can say this about it, my last air hammer was a snap-on and this one is stronger and more compact and has a built in adjustable regulator, im very impressed with its performance. hope this helps.

The handle has a tapered fitting. An adapter provides the threaded connection to the tapered fitting. The adapter is a seperate purchased part

I believe that the handle is made of wood. The only joint is where the head and handle screw onto one another. Once tightened by.hand, the joint stays intact.

It is a metal handle with a plastic grip this item worked great for me as a homeowner. I busted up a side walk about 30' long and my son has used it several times without problems-- just make sure the oil level is kept up it seems to use oil. For the price it is well worth it and paid for itself

The handle is securely attached. No idea where it was made, but at this price you have to figure it's made in China.

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.

The handle is welded on tightly. Takes a little to get use to but I suggest having a handle free one as a go to when entertaining.

The handle is plastic, but the crank arm is metal. The retaining mechanism for the grinding wheels have some plastic components, but overall are of excellent quality. If you are worried about wear and tear, there are some inexpensive replacement parts on offer from the manufacturer.

The end of the handle is plastic as is the clamp turner, but the rest is metal. This hasn't been a problem so far.

The handle appears to be a hard wood. I LOVE this tool. It makes gardening a joy.

Welded. There's an identical model with a welded iron handle but I know of only one US vendor who carries it and it's about 2X the price of this one.

Its plastic. And very weak. The metal only goes into the plastic handle for about 1/2". Mine snapped in half, I just posted a couple of photos.

The handle is NOT removable and the swivel is what joins the rod with the handle.

The hot/cold 'replacement cartridges' are the handles that screw in - wood or white plastic. Is that what is missing?

The handle is a very hard durable plastic. One that doesn't tear up your hands.

The head and baseplate are metal. The handle is plastic. I've worked with a few fluid heads and I find this excellent value for price.
