Keson 12 in. Contractor Grade Aluminum Measuring Wheel, Feet and Inches

This heavy duty polyurethane wheeled measurer from Kenson features an easy to read magnified counter that measures feet and inches and a pistol grip handle that adjusts to several heights to aide in comfort while using. A spring loaded kickstand on the base of the unit keeps the measuring wheel upright on any somewhat flat surface from grass to pavement. This measuring wheel makes easy work of measuring property lines, fence lengths, and long runs of underground wiring or sprinkler pipe. I have used mine to measure the length of a electrical wire run to feed power to a shed.

I now know “exactly” how far it is from my front step to the library, the grocery, the hardware store, the soccer park, my kid’s schools, the community center and the fishing bridge. We take it with us wherever we walk in town and the kids have recorded the distance to all of their important destinations. Now we have plans to make distance markers to install around the walking track we use when the weather is nice. Fun research/measurement project for the kids, but also quite useful for marking out playing fields and the like. I will use it this summer for a number of events (frisbee throw and the like)Accounting for bumpy ground, it matches up reasonably well with my 300 foot open reel tape. Obviously it cannot be as accurate as a transit or even a tape, but for getting pretty close estimates for a perimeter fence or a “fun run”, plenty accurate.Light weight, but seems to be built to take it. The kids have been warned to not abuse it, but I am not too worried.

This seems to be very accurate. I had a different one of these that was a lot cheaper and it was not as accurate and didn’t last very long. This is very well made and has nice features such a collapsible handle and a stand which folds up when in use. The numbers are easy to read, even without my glasses. Works well on smooth or rough surfaces. Measures up to 10,000 ft. minus an inch.

Appears to be very accurate. You can walk at a brisk pace and it appears to keep up with you. The numbers are easy to read even from a distance (you don’t have to squat down to see it). Works on all types of surfaces, rough and smooth alike. I have used it on grass, a rough field and pavement. The “kick stand” make it so the devise leans on an angle which means you have to be careful if not on a level site. The materials are tough, but as a precision instrument you don’t want it getting whacked around.

Never again will I need assistance for taking long distance readings. I can easily measure for projects around the yard by myself. The Roadrunner easily measures long distances. Just use the convenient mark for starting and walk along. The adjustable handle makes it work for myself 6′ or shorter individuals as well. It stores easily too. The flip down side supports and collapsible handle work well. It is light weight but should hold well for both home owner and contractor.

I am really impressed with this ROADRUNNER 12-1/2 IN. MEASURING WHEEL WITH ADJUSTABLE PISTOL GRIP HANDLE. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve needed this in the past. It is so simple to use, even though it is light weight, it will stand up to normal use. It is accurate up to 9999 feet 11 inches. The clamps make adjusting the height very easy, and nice for storing .It was well packaged for shipping.Resetting the counter is just the push of a button.

The 12-1/2 inch measuring wheel is great for measuring large areas…driveways, fences, parking lots, yards, race courses, athletic fields, and job estimates. It is a quality item that will hold up well on the job site. The adjustable handle makes using the wheel more comfortable for long uses. The handy stand allows for stopping in place to set stakes or record measurements. If you need to measure big this will do the job!

I have wanted one of these ever since I saw those guys who mark your utility lines get one out and use it. I find myself using this measuring wheel more than I thought I would. I got it so I could get the square footage of the front yard so I new the amount of lawn care products that I needed to order but I also used it to measure around the pool so I could replace the cover and just this past week the wind took out my old wooden fence and I needed to get the distance so I could get quotes for a new fence. Very handy.

I got this to replace the measuring wheel I normally use because of its compactness. Just flip a couple levers and this thing retracts into something so small it can easily be transported to any job site. I used this recently to measure out the distance for a privacy fence and found it to be accurate. Seems well made. I am 6’1 and when fully extended is comfortable to use and easy to read.

To be honest this thing is almost like a toy. At first I measured a 60 feet section then remeasured with my long tape and got the same number so I was measuring all over the yard. With 9999.9 limit one could go for awhile. The only downside is if your walking the wheel can move and add and/or subtract the total so it would be a good idea to bring a note pad when measuring.
