Can someone share what the wand itself is made of? Is it aluminum? Has anyone had pinholes in the wand after using it for some time?

Wand aluminum, ends brass. Never had pinholes but it's easy to lose the rubber washer when taking it off the hose.

The part that is green in the photo is aluminum. The part that attaches to the hose is brass. The rose is plastic with a perforated aluminum face. I haven't experienced any pinholes in the wand after 2-1/2 years of use.

Sounds like you got two good replies on the makeup of the wand. I have not had any pinholes or any problems since I bought it and have used it in the summer for watering. It does a great job.

I have no idea. But I don't see why it would matter. It's a plastic wand. It's sturdy and simple.

Steam I think. It was the worst purchase I have made on amazon. The top blew off from the steam and broke the seal the 3rd time I used it. The wand never worked properly.

The tip of the steamer wand is plastic, but of good quality. I've never had any problems with it and I've made hundreds of cappuccinos. Just need to dismantle it when your done, just twist counter clockwise and pull. Then wash it we'll and reassemble. Never had any problems or noted any degradation.

It is aluminum, and the mounts it comes with are plastic and metal I'd assume to be aluminum also, had it for a while now no problems just tighten the mounts a little after every few drives after I first got it now it's set and doesn't need anything

It is made of high quality anodized aluminum which is great for even heating. I have been using the 3 and 1/2 liter pan for 2 Months and am in love with this product!

Not the one I received. However, there are other sellers on Amazon. I just got one that I was not impressed by because the box nor the wand itself was seal and the product looked used. I sent it back and there was no question regarding my refund. Amazon is really good about returns. Hope this helps.

As far as I know this is also called the Hitatchi Magic Wand. Who ever makes it, does not make a difference it is a superb item. If your getting this for fun its worth every penny.

It does! My 11 year old daughter really loved it. It's strong plastic with a wood design. It looks and feels like a real wand and is very strudy. She was happy she bought it

The actual wand and wand packaging do not have either name ANYWHERE on it. I suspect it is not a hitachi, but I do not know. It says "Magic Wand Original" all over the packaging, but never "hitachi" or "shibari."

I found 2-numbers......2.640-746 printed on box. On packing slip: B000EDTS18. If this isn't correct I can check to see if there are any numbers on the wand itself. Hope I was able to help.

mine lasted a month and then the wand broke. I "glued" it together with J-B WELD epoxy and it held, but broke in another spot on the wand within a minute. I like the idea of drilling it out and replacing with something stronger... or slipping some kind of sleeve over it. My cat loves it and can't understand why he can no longer play with it. Poor Kitty.

Yes it is definitely mine! This is the only wand that has ever held a curl in my hair. A little hairspray and it will stay curly for two days!

The wand is fixed in place. The handle is plastic. I just bought it have three weeks experience.

The white tip on one end flew off when I tried to wave the wand, so I think we can glue it to stay on. I'm pretty sure the wand is hollow, but I gave it to my grandson, so I'll have to check with him. I bought him a top hat and white gloves and made him a cool magicians cape, black with shiny red satin lining. He really likes the whole outfit and the wand really goes with it.

the model I have was purchased over 5 years ago. it is built well. I replaced the wand last year ($50) and have have replaced a few bands. i actually use it without the bands also like a T. mine is very thick metals. it knocks down to small components so can transport ez. hopefully they did not cheapen it by thinner metals it would not surprise me. I would check out a sporting store to see if it is now junk. agood tool if they did not ruin it.

No aluminum it is just plastic. Maybe part of the motor inside could be but I do not see any.
