📏 ROLATAPE RT204 Dual 4-inch Measuring Wheel: Accurate and Efficient Yellow Survey Tool Review

Good size and measurements but a little underpowered for use on my farm. It works well when the surface is hard and flat, but in the case of a farm with grass, pebbles and uneven ground, care must be taken to drive slowly and adjust the pressure on the wheels!

This item came with a price tag that was way less than I should have paid. However, it works well on surfaces where the wheel can roll. Update July 2018 Adding to the ethical issue after using it for several years if I could start over I would get one with only ONE WHEEL. .

Not only is this good for engineers but I use it to measure how far my patients go and sometimes they turn out to be engineers. I feel this provides positive feedback for patients and helps with documentation. It is highly recommended for those who train the gait.

I'm a physical therapist and I use this to calculate walking distance for patient documentation. Works well for the price and the two wheels make it easy to roll. Retractable handle makes it easy to carry. Haven't used it on very rough terrain yet but works on carpet, floor, grass and pavement.

To put it slightly imprecisely. When marking the fence posts, he paid particular attention to walking slowly. He continued to deviate a few inches with each post. For a span of nearly eight feet, he gave incorrect measurements, noting only nine eight-foot posts in the center on level ground. I had to give it up and go back to good old roulette.

We shot down two of them in the field and you can't blame the Rolatape (when I first started buying them they were Stanley) . Either way, it's easy to use, accurate enough for what we're using it for, and long enough to be comfortable enough to walk around with until you're over 5'11" or so. It's not built, to be incredibly tall.

Revain had several other gauge wheel options in this price range and below - I ended up going with this one as it is also sold by Lowes so I figured they were a buyer sufficient indicator for trade research. It works well on concrete, although holding it straight when you're measuring a long distance takes concentration. It didn't perform particularly well on rough terrain since the wheels were so small. So if you want to measure distances on the road I would buy one of the larger wheeled…
