I received this cork screw today but I am questioning if wood handles are wood? It feels like plastic to me. Anyone else notice this?

They're definitely wood, just very smooth. I love mine - it works perfectly.

No - they are plastic or nylon, but definitely NOT wood. I was really disappointed when I bought mine in July, because I thought the bristles were wood or bamboo from reading the other reviews. However, when the brush came, I discovered that they are plastic or nylon. The description doesn't say they're wood, but they don't say the brush has changed since the other reviews, either. It's also a very lightweight brush, with somewhat cheesy-looking screws holding it together. If you want a great wooden brush with actual wooden bristles (which actually do feel really great when you brush your hair), get the OTHER brush I ordered in July: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KM3NDO/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk No - they are plastic or nylon, but definitely NOT wood.

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.

I believe the handle is wood. Smooth black surface is a little hard to hold onto--I was just thinking something textured would be better. I like the cane!

HMM....not sure, they are real wood, perhaps its the coating that's on them that some people may think makes them from plastic.

The green part is a strong plastic. In the pc you can see the blade and party of the handle are metal. Works great and feels sturdy.

The product I received has a hollow plastic handle and feels like you could crush it in your hand. I don't think I received the same product others are saying is durable.

April 23, 2014. Ms. LeeJai Cook, Roaring Springs TEXAS.Hello, MTC. I just now examined the valve control levers.They are not metal. On the other hand, they do not look likeordinary plastic. They feel more like some kind of rubber.I hope this helps.Best wishes.

Doesn't feel like plastic to me. Pretty sure it's wicker. Doesn't it say on the description?

i just checked it out. think it's plastic, but looks like wood. not cheap looking at all! i prefer it be plastic as easier to clean, and can be used outside. we love it! already assembled. took longer to open the box.

The handle is plastic and very grippy. We store it in a knife block with Wusthof knives and it looks ok.

Mine are wood. Maybe it's the travel one that is plastic but I don't know for sure.

Feels like chromed plastic. I have 3 of this model and none have never broken...However, it's a small trade-off for the performance of this toilet.

They are not wood, but they are very sturdy. My husband said they were probably made from a high quality hard plastic. They are very attractive handles. I hope this will help you.

I purchased mine last spring and the handle was made of both metal and plastic. The piece you grip is plastic while the sides that go to the tool are metal. It also rotates easily around the tool which I thought would be a problem but it actually was really convenient I thought. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again for the price, especially compared to name brand electric jackhammers. I've used it to rip up a basement floor, patio, and sidewalk. All with no issues. Sorry this is more info, I've just been really pleased with this tool.

Hi, in my case it looks like it's made of plastic (red colored extension protruding from the base). Seems well made tho. I must have gotten a different batch.

It looks like real wood to me but I can't be 100% sure. I am very happy with the quality of this product. It's a beautiful mahogany wood and seems well made. I would recommend it.
