I know that this works, but does it rust? What is the composition of the metal?

Yes they will rust.. But they still work great even being rusted. If you could put some type of spray on it that didn't have a odor that would help prevent the rust.

Yes, there is some surface rust; but, it does not seem to cause any problems with efficacy, given a few drops of oil on the moving parts and a spray or two of WD-40 from time to time. It seems to be made of reasonably decent steel, not stainless; but, a little surface rust helps it blend into the environment.

Yes they do. I try not to leave them out except when I'm there hunting. I always spray them with WD 40 when I put them away. I use them mainly to keep the coons away from my deer feeders. We are overrun with coons and they can empty a feeder quick.

Yes. Unfortunately it is only a very thin galvanized coating over steel on most of the parts. I dip mine in peanut oil to keep the rust under control. They work fine even when rusted if kept oiled.

Yes it has some rust on the traps I own, not sure what is composition of metal, but very hard metal.

Yes it will rust...but i bet you can put a rustOlium paint on it...wire brush it after each use..and veggie oil it after each use.The composition...i guess it is steel chain and pig steel..pot i dont rightfully know...it is thick and will last years...i put mine in the house..wash it in the dishwasher and then dip it in veggie oil and put it in a zip lock bag and toss it in the workshop. seems not to rust...hope this helps...ty

I don't know if it is stainless, but mine has not shown any rust. For me, it was well worth the money.

my impression is that it is a pure copper mesh if you are concerned about rust stains. My installation has been exposed to weather (roof & chimney to keep out flying squirrels) & there is no corrosion after three years.

I have it inside, so can't say by experience. However, this is stainless steel, and by theory, it will not rust.

I haven't had any parts start rusting on me and I don't keep it wet. I suppose it could be stainless steel. I like it and it works well and cleans up pretty easy. I hand wash the parts with dish soap and water and a sponge - just like washing dishes by hand and let the parts dry in a dish rack and I don't have any problems yet and no rust yet.

We bought this for our disabled son, 6 foot 6, 240 pounds. We've had it for a few months now and have seen no rust. It's made of aluminum and plastic, so not much to rust except possibly some screws but I think they are stainless steel and brass. It sits in the shower all the time. Hope this helps.

My husband says that it is "stainless steel". I have one of mine (I just purchased another one) for more than a year and I have had NO rust.I hope this answers your question.

Stainless steel will not rust unless it some how gets impregnated by a carbon steel. So unless some how you scratch it with a cheaper metal then it will never rust.

It is metal but not like Edge gel's can. It seems to have a powder coating on it and my husband keeps it in his workout bag and so far there is no apparent rust from being wet most of the time.

I can't vouch for the actual material it is made of but I've used it for about 6 months to sort pins from brass during my wet tumbling process. It was wet/soapy quite a bit and I haven't seen a spot of rust on it.

I´m not sure if it is stainless steel... at the same time I have had it for a while and have not seen any rust at all. It has stayed completeley black. By the way it works very well.

We live in Florida, so it is humid here too. So far it has not rusted at all. It is working out for me.

Sorry can't help you ...but stainless is not suppose to rust ?.. unless its around salt water etc ...? and even then, depending on what type of stainless it is .. I have not used it in that application so I can't really say. Its is very durable finish ( if done I would suggest only spraying it and doing multiple coats). At least 3

After a long time it did rust, however all you need to do is take a little bit of aluminum foil, wet and scrub the rust right off. It works perfectly and it looks brand new.

Don't know for sure, but it looks like stainless steel. I've had mine for a year, and no signs of rust.
