You get what you pay for in the long run they wont take the abuse
They are probably more than sufficient for my needs

I'mma little slow, here. I've hiked thousands of miles in my day, but never used trekking poles. What is the advantage of using them?

Stability on slopes. Takes weight off knees and feet on downhill. Helps ascend hills without wearing out your legs as quickly.

I have the Costco ones and an expensive pair from REI. The Costco poles seem just a strong, I actually use them more because they're telescoping and fit in my pack.
