Metal is a conductor. What this means is that it has a very low resistance to electricity, allowing the electricity to flow through it.
I suggest you learn how electricity works first to understand how electricity can flow through objects.

What does electricity travel through?
Electricity can travel throughout freely moving Electrons, like in metal which is in wires under the rubber.

Because electricity will travel through almost everything but wood, rubber, and a few more. Scissors have metal in them, and that is the thing that electricity loves to travel through.
Why plastic is not a good conductor?
Because electricity can only travel through metal.
Can electricity travel through a wrench?
If the wrench is made of metal, which almost all are, the answer is yes.
What is an example of conductors and insulators?
conductors are thing that electricity travels through, metal insulators are things electricity does not travel through, dry wood, paper, plastic.
Can electricity flow through metal?

Yes, sound can travel through metal strings. It can travel through any medium except for vacuum.
Did sound travel better through metal railing or through air if a metal rod is hit against it?
Yes it would travel better through metal as the velocity of sound in metal is more than in air.
How well electricity flows through a material?
Depends on the material. The electricity can flow through metal better then it can through wood because wood is a conductor of electricity (example).
