XERO Pro Basic 40 vs Tucker 40

Quick comparison

What this means in real life:

• XERO's pole reaches higher, which matters on taller homes.
• XERO's stiffer pole also offers less fatigue as you work since you aren't fighting it wobbling around.
• XERO’s return window is a huge advantage if you’re still dialing in what you like in a pole.
• XERO's lifetime warranty means you don't have to worry down the road if a section cracks or a clamp breaks.
• Tucker's pole is about half a pound lighter, which can make it feel a little easier to handle after a long day.
• Tucker's pole is about 4 inches shorter, if you are worried about packing/carrying in small spaces

Our take

If you care most about total length and peace of mind, the XERO Pro Basic 40 is the stronger all-around choice. If your top priority is a slightly lighter pole and a shorter collapsed size (and you’re comfortable with a tighter return policy), Tucker may be appealing even at its higher price.
