It is plastic!
I was expecting a little more durability from this toy. While it has not broken yet, I expect it to by the end of summer. Everything on this toy is plastic even the so called mechanics. However with this being said, my two year old son does enjoy playing on it. I just question how long he will get to play on it before it breaks.

A little difficult to use at first but my son loves it now!
My son loves to spend a lot of time digging with his excavator. My only complaint is that the handle that turns to make the scoop extend was very difficult to turn at first. After being used for a month it got easier to turn and my son as no trouble with it now.

Not a problem!
Just a response to the review noting the wrist strength needed to release arm on excavator. My 23 month old received this for Christmas and I must admit it took us at least 5-10 preplexed minutes to figure out the twisting motion for release. My 23 month old learned it within the day and has no trouble at all since. Great toy! and a reasonable price for the enjoyment.

fun but difficult
My boys have really enjoyed playing with this toy, however in order to lower the bucket it requires a lot of wrist strength and most of 2-4 year olds that have tried to play with it are not able to make it function on their own. It's even a little difficult for me to get it to lower. The only other comment I would add regarding this excavator is that if the children are not able to operate the arm that makes the bucket lower they tend to lean forward on the toy, causing the toy to tip and occassionally the child will fall face forward into the arm of the excavator. This toy requires a lot of parental supervision.

Great toy for a great price
I bought this toy for my two year old son who is obessed with cars & trucks and he absolutely loves it! Assembly time took about 2 mintues & the quality is excellent! A great toy for a great price.
