Review on πŸ“ Keson RR318N Large Contractor Grade Measuring Wheel 12-1/2" Orange Ft. & In. - Circumference: 3 ft by Cameron Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exceeded my expectations

I've been eyeing some of the cheaper models and based on negative reviews decided to spend a little more and am very glad I did. well thought through. I have seen negative stand reviews for many of these measuring wheels and the stand is the same if not identical for all. The stand is simple, lightweight and designed to be used on a flat and level surface and works great when used correctly. I didn't know it was measured in inches, I was under the impression it was only in feet, of course I was very impressed. The big wheel works well on both flat and rough terrain, mine is mainly used on some rough terrain which is mostly dirt and rocks so the bigger wheel should work fine for me. As an aside, gauge wheels with a small 4 inch diameter wheel are almost certainly useless for anything but very flat/smooth surfaces. At 6ft 3in it would be nice if it popped out more than it is. At the same time it's not that short and if it weren't for the sore back and knees I probably wouldn't have mentioned it.

Pros
  • Pistol grip improves handling and comfort
Cons
  • So-so
