Why in the world would you want a metal impeller? WPs fail because the center bearing fails. When it fails, the impellers hit the engine case. If the impellers are metal, they will chew through the case and ruin the motor. If the impellers are plastic, they break off and save the case. What proof do you have that metal impellers make a better WP?
