Does this pole have replaceable tips? How important is that, do they wear down fast in snow?

Like any else in life, things wear out depending on how often and where you use'em, but the tips can be replaced. a very simple proceeder: take a crescent wrench, slip it around bottom section of pole adjust wrench to the pole (Not to tight)and tap with a downward motion at the top of the tip housing section. Once you've removed the tip housing,replace the new tip housing on to the pole by hand, then to sit new tip strike carbide tip to hard surface to set new tip on to the pole... Easy

No, but I guarantee you the steel tips will not wear down in snow.
