They are metal. Seems to be a sturdy unit. However I use mine to wash walnuts so you would have to say that it gets only light duty.

My adapters were brass. The nylon was to be used as a gasket if you needed a gasket.

Hi Ray, the gears on my machine are made of metal. In fact the entire machine is metal except for the roller on the handle.Hope this helps...Jim

They are steel shafts. Better good beginners set. The driver is a bit weak. Recommend getting a better driver.

It is plastic... Kind of hard plastic...For me, manual drive option did not work shortly after 30 days, I was told I have pay for the parts. They literally counted the days from the day I placed the order and told me that I was past 30 day mark... Never got to replace the parts... Beware of their customer service...

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.

Unless I got shorted, It is a plastic housing with steel drive wheels. I will post a picture with my review.

Although servos such as these are commonly plastic geared, these ones are actually metal geared.

Be Careful, they sell a model with plastic gears. If you are buying one, make sure the ad says METAL gears.

Yes it is. The gears are metal as opposed to plastic gears in the KitchenAid mixer.

They are plastic geared and are controlled by a PWM signal like regular servo motors.

I asked my husband this question..He says he does not know whether the gears are metal or plastic. But we do know it has worked well for us and we have no complaint. We love it. We use it to cut limbs and anything else around the place that is too large for trimmer or shears.

It's metal. I put the shifter in my "33 Plymouth Street Rod----------------I LOVE IT! and the price was unrealas compared to others. I love the shift indicator (lighted) too!

That seems to be inconsistent. Several reviews I read said they were nylon. But ours came with steel and there was even an extra set of steel ones in the box. And no rust or trouble tuning ours.
