Last time I saw Tucker pole was in the "Museum Of Primitive Tools". Sorry but the Tucker concept is dated, their far too long when closed, awkward and heavy. The clamps are far too slow to operate, they flex too much and imo they are too heavy to use and over a long period of time cause rsi and other problems. But Tucker do make the best brushes imo.
But there are people on this forum that swear by them, so I dont want to upset them. The reason many people like them is they are very robust ad last a long time, some people prefer these attributes.
