A year has passed.

It has been a year since I bought this wheel. I should note that in my job I do a lot of measurements as a field engineer for a fiber optic design company.

Pros
  • Belt driven counter for long life and smooth operation
Cons
  • No instructions

Pros
  • Measures up to 3000m
Cons
  • Functionality

As far as I can tell, the Durawheel is just right for this distance. A handbrake is really great for setting a starting point and maintaining a reading distance at the end of a…

Pros
  • Sturdy oval tube, heavy duty pistol grip folding handle
Cons
  • Some bugs
