Star 150 & Pulsar 300 - how do size, quality, & function compare? Is punching mechanism metal or plastic?

I don't know anything about the Star 150, but the Pulsar 300 is a solid machine. I assume the punch is metal (that part is not readily visible). I have used mine for a couple of years now and it is still making nice crisp cuts. I am very satisfied with its quality and functionality.

The Star 150 has a metal punching system. The difference between the two machine is the 150 is manually (pull the handle to punch) while the 300 is done electrically.

I am not familiar with the Star 150. The Pulsar 300 does have a metal punching mechanism - I would have to think they all would be metal in order to puncture the paper properly and to bind.

I am not sure what you mean by a metal one but I have used this soft box with 3xCanon 580ex speedlights with PocketWizard flextt5 attached with a tri flash mount. This soft box is as sturdy as any other name brand on the market for a fraction of the cost.

It is metal, feels light like aluminum but is most likely some sort of pot metal. It is sturdy. There is a thin foamed protector taped to each half ( clam shell ) of the clamp. It's not quite canon quality but it is good quality, much cheaper then a canon mount if you can find one. I've been happy with it. I'll try to post a couple of pictures.

Enjoy! Recommend getting the classic Klingon disruptor, 30th anniversary (1996) issue, by Franklin Min, as a companion piece. Careful... don't pay too much for this piece. Though it is all metal (gray color w/golden brass trim), heavy, 1:1 ratio, attractive, and comes w/base... some are very over priced! That is , if you can still find them. ..in mint or near mint condition. Good Luck!

The Upper Reciever is constructed of a high-quality Steel/Aluminum. The lower receiver is made of a very durable, glossy ABS plastic; It's nothing to worry about as far as the durability goes. There are metal rails on the lower-receiver so when you fire the hand-gun it doesn't wear on the actual plastic. A great gun, hands down. Just a little hungry on the CO2, so buy LOTS of CO2.

Plastic outside and metal in side. Weight is good for it having quality plastic. Sights, stock, and hand grip as well as the trigger guard are heavy plastic. Internal components and trigger are metal. Magazine has heavy weights in it that make it feel very real

I have several hundred rounds through my DPMSLR308 and it holds up like a champ. I had the custom ballistic dials made for my loads, and its super fast in the field. Its a great scope and super quality.

I can't answer that question as I haven't used it yet. I do know that a metal miter box sure beats a plastic one.

This is A heavy scope with a less than perfect center go gravity. I am using an alpena plastic with a fairly wide footprint. It's barely enough. It's plastic. it wiggles a lot when you focus or zoom. Do you own this scope now? Are thinking stars or on the ground. I would not recommend ultima 80 for astronomy. Blue shift issues. Works fine on the ground.

My advise, purchase the 620-PISTOLGRPQR, as opposed to the 620-CPG. The quality of the plate is the difference, while the price difference is negligible. Hope this helps, be blessed

I believe that it was all metal. I did not keep it as the pin that I received appeared slightly different than what had been (and apparently still is) pictured. The Star was in an unrealistic position and possibly not in proportion. They offered to refund, but I just gave it to a friend.

I assume you are asking about the orion scope vs the celestron scope? I've no experience with the orion st, there's a comparison on cloudy nights' user forum. There is a lot of info there. I beive that is where I found a write up on what to expect from various size optics and focal lengths. I'm still happy with the astromaster. It has pretty good optics, but as many people have pointed out, the mount is a little flimsy.

Its both some metal and some plastic...more plastic than metal tho...its lightweight with a good rubber handle for grip..try it..can't go wrong with Tippman

The front sight is a very, very hard material... but not metal. It holds an orange site-piece very firmly in three points. The rear sight is metal and is completely adjustable for windage and range. Well, no... looking at it again it seems to be partially the same tough plastic the front sight is made of, only with two green points instead of orange. (I feel I should know the terminology for these things.) I can't tell you how good they work because my rifle came with a scope that is dead-nuts accurate. No rabbit has escaped this rifle yet.

It is metal. And it worked great for me. No issues. However, I think this one is too short to mount an optic to.

Both made of metal and solid plastic good quality though.. I bought two of this but one seems not to be as fluid as the other.. For the price is a good choice

I don't recall seeing a source on the tools anywhere, but the Astro Pneumatic website says the following "With over 30 years of importing product into the U.S. Automotive Aftermarket, Astro Pneumatic Tool Co. offers several product categories for one-stop shopping. Our products under our own brand name "ASTRO" include the popular tool and equipment classics, as well as innovative new items." I'd expect from that statement that the tools are imported, though from where I could not tell you. I am very happy with the quality of the tool, I use it in my garage, and having a proper crimp tool for various connectors is worth the price compared to the small cheap generic crimp tools you get for $15-25. If I were a pro using this type of tool, I would probably get a bigger brand name with local support.
