Milwaukee 12 in. Aluminum Measuring Wheel

Love this measuring wheel. It has everything I needed.

Great tool. Priced perfectly.

Milwaukee built another great product. The measuring wheel is extremely well constructed and thought out. It is durable and ergonomically well-designed. The only reason that I am not giving the wheel a 5-star rating is because the the linkage for the distance counter doesn’t always engage.

Like some other reviewers I looked at these wheeled measuring devices for years and thought it was mostly fancy and not necessary; a surveyors tool. Boy was i wrong; this makes measuring any room easier (only thing easier is a laser measure), and especially makes measuring outdoors a breeze. I needed to order stone for a new walk I was creating and this was so much easier than trying to measure with a tape measurer. I just walked the distance and multiplied by the width I wanted and had my order ready in 2 minutes.This wheel is built to last and collapses down nicely for storage. Wish I had bought one years ago.

Well built, The Milwaukee 12 in. Measuring Wheel was designed for extreme durability. Made with reinforced aluminum frames and reinforced folding joints, the Milwaukee measuring wheels are able to withstand my toughest jobsite conditions. Quickly fold the units for transportation and storage. Measuring Wheel has also been designed with a Debris-Cleaning Wheel Flap that easily clears away contamination while rolling. Measuring wheel also includes a reinforced kick stand. Nice pistol grip handles, designed to provide similar ergonomics to that of a power tool handle, fitting well in my the hand. The handle feature a top brake function that can lock the wheel and the reading. Measuring Wheel is also designed with a top handle clearing function for easier use, allowing the user to reset for each measurement without bending over. Good tool for your tool box.

Well-made, durable pro-grade unit. Lots of nice features, including the kickstand, and the ability to reset the counter from the handle. The rubber overmolding on the handle should provide for excellent grip come the heat and humidity of summer.

The quality of this aluminum measuring wheel exudes the Milwaukee quality in it’s construction.It is very well made.I love how it’s so easy to carry, as it folds into an easy to carry size, yet unfolds and locks extremely well.Once you start using this measuring wheel, you will notice all sorts of things you can do with this wheel.Rolling this wheel along a distance outside is extremely easy, and it’s measurements are really accurate.This measuring wheel takes the work out of measuring any distance as you just walk with it.Extremely happy, and Highly Recommended.

Since the boys were young I volunteered as a youth coach and ref for many of their sports as often as possible. As a smaller community we take what we can get when we can get it. Even though the purpose of the Milwaukee measuring wheel is for construction measurements and gathering information such as concrete loads or decking planking, this has certainly come in handy in marking off the large high school basketball courts into smaller courts and taping off the lines and then rolling in the portable stands from storage.I’m sure when it comes time to coach youth soccer and putting out the cones at the local playground or football field, then it certainly is going to be much faster than running out the long tape measure or guessing by pacing it off as I’m no professional golfer.The Milwaukee 12″ measuring wheel is well built. It’s aluminum frame, heavy duty wheel and hard plastic. It is made to collapse in the center and lock down for easy transport. The measurement can be read in inches and feet on the front and top of the wheel. As the wheel moves it adds distance and don’t worry if you need to go back, just pull it backwards and the distance will roll off. It has a brake so you can pick it up and read it anywhere, or move it to another section and then start rolling it again without having to add two separate distances. The odometer can be reset either at the meter or right at the handle, your choice. It even comes with a little kickstand so you can keep it upright on the jobsite or if you need to stop what you’re doing to address a different situation. I believe it’s a very good price for a well constructed, name brand product and something I wish that I had 30 years ago. I have nothing but positive things to say except that for certain applications they could have added a spray can holder so you can mark spots and then store it away, but I suppose you can wire on something yourself.

It gets the job done!!
