Distance Measuring Wheels are excellent tools for measuring long distances in a hurry. They are great for estimating paving jobs, building lot sizes, carpet estimates, grass seed and fertilizer calculations, insurance calculations, fence estimating, utility contracting, and other uses when a large distance is needed quickly.
To use, you simply reset the counter, place the wheel at the point you want to start measuring, and roll in a straight direction to the stopping point. There are basically two types of measuring wheels to choose from; mechanical or electronic. From there, you choose either a small wheel for indoor measuring, a medium wheel for both indoor and outdoor, or a large wheel for outdoor only.
