Distance Measuring Wheel Explained

A distance measuring wheel is perfect for measuring long distances fast and accurately. This kind of tool is commonly used for estimating building lot sizes, paving jobs, carpet estimates, insurance calculations, utility contracting, fertilizer calculations and other distance measurements that need to be done as accurate as possible. And it’s pretty easy to use. All you have to do, is place the measuring wheel on the area you want to measure and roll the tool in a straight direction. Read the counter, once you have measured the wanted place.

Market is full with different sizes of distance measuring wheels, you just need to pick the one that fits your needs. A small measuring wheel is ideal for indoor measuring, since it’s not too heavy to carry nor occupies too much storing space. The medium measuring wheel on the other hand, is good for both indoor and outdoor use. Normally, a larger wheel is more suitable for indoor use. If a terrain is rough, get a larger measuring wheel. But, if you need the wheel for a smoother terrain then a small one will do the thing.
