Measuring Wheel Digital Display, Prostormer 12.5'' Folding Portable Distance Measurement Wheel with Measuring Area Function

Ease to read and use this measuring wheel. Seems to be build well.

I thought this would be a timesaving device, but you do get what you pay for. Being digital, the unit would be more "accurate", but the way it registers units and how it was calibrated (not user adjustable) really is usable only for very flat surfaces. While it's useful, I would double check with a proper tape or professional grade measuring wheel to see how far off this is initially and if the results are "usable" for your needs. I understand there is a deviation value and more than one measurement should be made, but the accuracy on this is too far off on the high side of being acceptable to mark a perimeter of property lines that are over 120 feet, as my measurements were off by a few inches (within the manufacturer's deviation limit) of all points indicated by the property plot map. For $50 with a coupon, it's a decent user tool to mark off a field or playground to mark boundaries, but not as a precise measuring device to get accurate data.

~~Pros~~+ I play ultimate frisbee and this makes measuring the field for setting the cones up very easy.+ I also play softball and we do home run derby. We like to measure out how far away we hit balls and setting the 300, 325, 350, 375, and 400 foot markers is effortless with this.+ The rolling wheel works perfectly and tracks distance accurately.+ This unit is easy to use and understand. Changing what unit it measures in is very intuitive.+ The carrying bag is really convenient because this folds up small and fits right in.+ The LED display is clear and readable even in the daytime.~~Cons~~- None as of yet-----Diamond's Star Rating System (What do my star ratings mean?):1 STAR - Completely unusable, would request a refund2 STAR - Meets minimum viable product requirements, wouldn't purchase it again3 STAR - It does what it should, but in a non-spectacular way, I may recommend it, but definitely with reservations4 STAR - I like it. It is solid quality and delivers as advertised, I would purchase it again and recommend it to a friend5 STAR - I love it. It meets or exceeds all of my expectations and is high quality, I would purchase it again and would openly promote it to friends

Very disappointed with the unit not being accurate and frustrated with Ampro customer service to troubleshoot calibration. I am used to odometer type measuring wheel and need the instrument to be accurate.I know enough to calibrate the instrument every week to make sure it is still measuring accurately for my work measuring perimeter of houses. I wanted to get a digital type measuring wheel to read from the handle so thought this was going to be a great purchase.Using a tape measure on a flat concrete drive I tested first at 10' to find this digital reading was off. Then I tested at 25' off even more.I contacted the seller to get any instructions to correct calibration. Responds were to tell me how to use the wheel. Seeming to make it appear it was off because of user error. I patiently went back and forth doing what they said to do to confirm not user error. It appears this is really made for measuring metric as they had no imperial tape measure just a metric tape measure testing their own unit. After at least 10 times at different distance using feet setting none of the measurements matched the imperial tape distance. All were 2-3% less than tape. Never admitting that there was not a way to fix only saying that it was accurate at metric readings. I don't have a metric tape to test that statement. The technical data on the instructions indicate that for both metric and imperial the accuracy is to be +/- .05 percent. I could live with that precision, but not ever reading accurate and to boot -2-3% every time is unacceptable. At least it was consistently reading the same for each time I measured the same distance.Another disturbing comment from support was that it needed to be used on a flat surface and held in same position walking the distance to be accurate. Of course that was what I was doing testing it, but for real life it was going to be used on different type of surfaces and not always flat. Leading me to think this is only designed to be used on paving.Finally, they said to request amazon replace this unit with another. Well, the replacement arrived. Guess what this unit read the same measurements at the same distances and at the same inaccuracy. This test confirmed it was going to be a consistent issue with any unit at least for those who will be using the feet option.Buyer be ware

Very easy to use when measuring land. The unit folds and packs away into the included bag, so it is easy to pack and take with you. It is also light weight, making it very portable.The operation is simple. Unfold, turn on, select measurement units and go! I mainly use this when measuring distance to run speaker cables for events. The kickstand is a nice feature as well, holds it upright between measuring instead of having to lay it down. Overall a great investment if you are needing to measure large distances!

Our unit, after testing, seems to be measuring accurately. Being digital, it's also extremely easy to read. In my usage, I don't believe these are meant to be exactly down to the mm or 1/32 but give you a good ballpark so you can accurately order the material you need and then measure more precisely. Even the most precise of measuring wheels, under IDEAL conditions, measuring wheels can be accurate to within 3 inches per 100 feet, that's +/- . 2 % This unit works well for the price and expectation of its performance.Almost forgot to mention, It folds up very nicely into it's carrying case making it very portable and easy to store.

This is a very nice wheel coming from an analog one to this. The digital readout is super nice and it has a memory function so you can grab 4 lines without having to carry a pen and paper around... It's very accurate and is far easier to use than my analog one since the clear button is on the handle by your hand and not by the wheel itself... 10/10

Very compact tool - folds up into its own storage bag. Large wheel makes measuring large distances a breeze. Easy to use and accurate. Recommended
