It is a tool designed to quickly and accurately measure long distances over various surfaces, such as roads, construction sites, and open land.
Key Features & How It Works
Measurement Mechanism: The device works by tracking the number of rotations the wheel makes as it rolls across the ground. Since the wheel's circumference is a known fixed value (the one pictured has a 318mm wheel), the built-in counter converts those rotations into a distance measurement in meters or feet.Bidirectional Counting: As noted on the packaging, the counter adds to the total when moving forward and subtracts if you move in reverse, allowing for easy adjustments on-site.Designed for Field Use: These tools typically feature a folding handle for portability, an illuminated display for visibility in low light, and a kickstand for stability when not in use.
