because they are hard, doesn't hurt your hands and because they are cheap! (i think)
Wood, Plastic.....
If the toothpick is made of wood or plastic, it would act as an insulator.
Wood is an insulator so irons are not made from wood! Their handles may be though, so you can use it without burning your hand.
panpipes are mainly made from bamboo, reed tubes , wood , animal bones, metal ,and plastic.
The toys were made of wood in the old days as at that time no the people dint discovered and knew how to give shape the the material like plastic, iron etc they only discovered the wood and knew how to give shape to it.
Wood or plastic doesn't transfer heat as well as metal. If the handles were metal, you could not pick the pan up.
Pottery tools can be made out of plastic, medal or plastic. These tools are used to refine shapes.
Handles are made of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and of many kinds of wood. The cheaper grades of file handles are made of soft wood. Chisel handles should always be made of hard wood. Apple wood is often used for firmer chisel handles. Socket chisel handles for heavy work are often made from hickory.ANS 2 -Many of my favorite wood chisels have handles made from 'easy to grip' rubberised composite materials. Most of these have the tang of the steel carried right through to the end of the grip. This enables the user to hammer if he really needs to ( on the odd occasion I do that, I always use a 'dead-blow' hammer.)
So that you can handle them without getting burned
wood...?
Electrician tools often have handles made of plastic, rubber, or wood because these materials provide insulation against electric shocks. This is essential when working with live electrical circuits to minimize the risk of electric shock or injury. These materials also offer a comfortable grip and are generally durable enough to withstand the demands of everyday use.

Obviously, not all saucepans have plastic handles, but most saucepans have insulating handles - wood is another common material - so that they can be safely picked up when the rest of the saucepan is hot.
You could use strong, sharp plastic tools on wood, but not on metal.
