Hi Ben,We're sorry to hear that your lever perished in the sun. We did strengthen these levers a couple of years ago and change the material they were made of to match the rest of the fittings and provide greater UV resistance. As for why they are not made of metal. We have had issues in the past when mixing metal and plastic components as they wear on each other differently. There is also a significant cost involved in making the swap which would increase the overall price of the fittings and levers. So we made the improvements to the handle while keeping it a nylon plastic in an effort to solve the problem and keep the prices down for our customers.Kind Regards, The Hoselink Team
