Is this made of metal or plastic? My plastic hooks keep breaking, so I need metal.

it's made of metal. it isnt made of unbreakable iron or anything, but it's definitely a nice step up from plastic.

I am re-answering the question as I just read someone said the pole was metal. It's is definitely NOT metal, but a hard plastic, as I just went out in the garage and looked at.

The hooks on the straps are plastic, but the loops they attach to on the bag are metal.

The bracket is metal, but the arm to tighten and lock it in place is plastic. I've had no trouble from it however.

Unfortunately PLASTIC. The 2 piece pole, assembles and is pretty thick plastic. The tines I think are also a plastic/composite of some time. Not wooden-like as you would find in a "Market Umbrella".

Yes, the hooks are metal, coated with rubbery plastic. There's also a center latch to prevent the hooks from bouncing off.

It is made of metal. I haven't used it yet but it looks like it is pretty good. I use it for a math class. It is designed for woodworkers.

I bought this as a present for a friend's granddaughter so I really couldn't tell you much about it! I know she made pot holders right after I gave it to her so I'm assuming the metal hook was there but not sure about the cotton. I ordered a bunch of other loops and I know they stated that they were cotton. Hope this helps!

Metal all the way, coated in a rubbery plastic. Very sturdy--I use mine for belts and absolutely no strain or twisting on the organizer. I definitely recommend. Good luck.

Plastic and not super sturdy feeling. Mine has been used over a year and hasn't broken, but not what you're looking for if you want metal or something sturdy to the feel

There are no metal hooks (though the instructions incorrectly list them). You just use the bungees. Good luck!

Made of heavy duty plastic attached to metal...inside water system is aluminum. This is my second Ames reel to replace one that lasted 10 years. I love it!

Yes; a flexible plastic. I broke a number of different plastic ear hooks in less than 2 months. The ear hook has withstood the black-hole (my pocket book).

Metal. However, the one I purchased broke in about a month. The one I gave as a gift lasted longer

Sorry just saw you're question. The little hooks need something to hook on to. We had a broken one and used a plastic zip tie, which might work for you. Ours has been up since fall and it's still shiny and in good shape. Very happy with it.
