Keson RR318N Contractor Grade Measuring Wheel, Ft. & In., Ft. & In., 12-1/2-Inch Diameter, Orange, Large - Circumference: 3 ft

I have used 3 different types of wheel in my Real Estate Career. The first was a small wheel measurer, which was ok for use on concrete, and not so much on rough surfaces. The second I purchased was a large wheel like this one, and it worked for about 2 years, but was problematic the whole time I had it. The reset button on it never seemed to work right until one day it just broke and wouldnt reset it at all. I finally purchased quality, and even for a decent price. The Keson measuring wheel seems to be very good quality. #1 it has a contoured handle, so your wrist doesnt get tired after extensive use. #2, it has a locking extension rod, which cant slip, and seems to be very good. #3, the reset button seems to work very well, and doesnt get stuck, and is very easy to see and use. #4, it has a nifty kickstand, which I have found I use all the time. It even can be used in rough, or rocky situations, unlike another posting which said you couldnt. I have been very impressed with this tool since I purchased it! I measure properties for a living, ranging from vacant land (5300 acres) to small 1/8 acre lots with small homes. I measure square footage, and land area. I measure between 5 to 35 properties per month, and I am constantly using it. If anyone would know about a wheel, and the quality of one, it would be me. Take my word for it, as of now... I believe Keson to be a good quality tool for many different uses. TA

Was looking at some of the less expensive models, and because of the negative reviews I decided to spend a bit more and am very happy I did. It's well made and well thought out. I have seen negative comments about the stand for many of these measuring wheels and the stand is similar if not identical for all of them. The stand is simple, light weight and meant to be used on a flat and level surface and works perfectly fine when used properly. I didn't realize that this measured in inches, I was under the impression that it was in feet only, needless to say I was very impressed. The large wheel is well suited for terrain that is flat as well as uneven, mine will primarily be used on somewhat rough terrain consisting of mostly dirt & rock so the larger wheel should work well for me. As a side note, the measuring wheels with the small 4" diameter wheel would almost certainly be useless for anything other than very flat/smooth surfaces. Being 6'3" it would be nice if this extended more than it does. That being said, it's not to terribly short and if it weren't for having a bad back & knees, I probably wouldn't have mentioned it.

We lost our home in a wildfire, so we bought this product to do walking measurements at our new building location. It works very well and is an excellent purchase for the price. It might not be a good purchase if you need to be EXACT in your distances, as I could definitely tell that with human error involved, it would probably only be accurate to within a foot or two. However, if you are looking to get a very good CLOSE idea of a distance, it definitely measured the same both coming and going, so I would have to say it was very accurate. The telescoping handle was easy to use and functioned well. It was easy to reset and roll, and the only CONFUSING part was figuring out how to get the "stand" out of your way when rolling it over grass, weeds, etc. Turns out, it just FLIPS UP, and it was actually very very easy. I would definitely recommend this product for the price, and it's intended purpose.

Purchased this wheel for laying out utilities and boundry marking/locating. Most of the use has been gravel roads, woods, and some thick brush use. The whell is excellent for all but the thick brush use. The stand is most handy allowing me to stop and note my map or survey, was even able to use it on a hilly lot the other day and the stand still worked well. Also of note is the handle which is collapsable for storage and height adjustable (I'm 5'10 maybe 6ft in boots and it was comfortable). All and all an excellent whell and a steal thru Amazon at around $50.

High quality, accurate, easy to use, durable, compact. Some reviewers complain about the stand being in the way but it is handy and very practical; take it off if you don't like it. I can't imagine there being a better, more convenient measuring wheel, and at such a low price, and free shipping. Highly recommended!

So far, I've used this product to see how far I'm running at the local park, and it seems extremely accurate and durable. The kickstand is a great feature, and I love how the counter will decrease as I move the wheel backward. Measures precisely in one-inch increments. Wheel is sturdy, and handle is adjustable. Good product.

This measuring wheel works better than others I've used with smaller wheels. It seems to be very accurate. And it is easy to roll over whatever terrain and not worry about the wheel getting caught or not turning. What I might say are downsides, the wheel moves so freely that if you pick it up for whatever reason the wheel will continue to spin and therefore measure. Seems silly but its almost like it needs a "brake". You can push down the counter with your foot to reset, but its easier to do with your hand. But if you bring the wheel to you as opposed to bending over, you have to be careful that the wheel doesn't spin when you are setting it down. Counter is easy enough to read, but would be even better if the numbers were bigger. And kickstand works somewhat ok but really needs to be on a flat surface or it will still fall over. Overall its a good purchase.

This measuring wheel is a great buy for the price. I was a little worried after reading other reviews that complained about the wheel stand and how it gets in the way when measuring. What nobody tells you is that the stand is spring load and easily folds up when measuring. With the stand up, there is absolutely no problem measuring. When you need to stop, simply use your foot or hand and pop the stand back down. Its not made to use while the stand is down....that's why its spring loaded to easily move up and down. You have to wonder about some people. This is a great tool for a great price. I definitely recommend it.
