Are the clamps metal or plastic?

I posted a photo of my clamps, mine have, at the very least, a thick plastic shell. It is not the nice metal ones they show in the picture. I am not a fan of the plastic ones. They work well but I'm worried about durability and I feel I paid for the steel ones.

the clamps are Metal. They are powder coated. They are also very easy to take apart and clean.

The clamps are black, and according to Gamma its composite. They still work well enough as long as you clean the clamps regularly.

They are plastic over aluminum. The full structure of the part is all aluminum. It's more rigid and sturdy that I expected it to be.

Not sure, but I believe they are solid copper - one of the threaded holes stripped out too easy to be steel.

The clamp is plastic, but very solidly manufactured. It can be oriented to clamp on the seat post or the frame (360 degrees of orientation) - I usually clamp my road bike using the top tube of the frame.

The nut & insert are brass, the clamp is zinc. I bought these specifically because of the too common, aluminum gold anodized that stores seem to have accepted as the "new" standard. They seem to think cheaper is better without thinking!

They are all plastic but very solid plastic. I installed them months ago and still holding strong.

I believe they are aluminum vs. stainless. Not real sturdy, but do the job.

The clamp is a plastic. The ribbing under the umbrella itself is very thin, probably aluminum. Will easily bend in a wind.

The clamps are metal with a plastic overlay. They are not as nice as the picture shown on the advertisement. The clamps have worked very well for me so far but I have only used them seven or eight times and I keep it out of the cold. For me being in MN I was scared (still am) that if I left them in my garage the hot and cold weather would weeken the claps because they are not made exclusively out of metal as shown in the photos.

They are hose clamps. You have to buy the adapters. You can get a set of two on Amazon for about $18.00. That includes shipping if you're not a prime member

Metal. BUT, they are a shiny finish rather than a matte finish like there other items.

They are made of metal. I have ordered more than 50 of them for my office and they have served our needs well.

My product has metal locking clamps, and the release buttons appears to be metal. The top part is brushed stainless steel or aluminum. The plates float on spring loaded pegs. I have used this product over 50 times, and nothing has melted as of yet.

Metal. They were of excellent quality. I ended up buying 100+ to use at my wedding.

They are plastic. But I put rubber tips on them myself and it worked out well.

Clamps are on this item. They are edge clamps that fit the spring steel edge of the reflector.

Honestly, I gave these to my grand-daughters and didn't inspect them prior to that. I think they were metal, but am not absolutely sure.
