While finishing a second LEGO grandfather clock for a client, I picked
up a set of 'Assorted Pulleys' (D779939) from LEGO-Pitsco so that I
could get the large hook element in the pack.

I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived to see that the large hook
was, in fact, metal, not molded plastic (which was nice since I was
going to be hanging 6-7 lbs. of wait from it).

My question is this, how many other LEGO elements are there that are
100% metal? I have some of the old wheels that had little metal axles
embedded in plastic hubs, but I can't think of any pieces that are all
metal.

any ideas?
