23139 Walking Wheel Tape Measure 1,000' Foot Measuring Tape Adjustable Handle

Good measuring stick.

I needed a device that was priced right and fulfill my needs to measure my walking distance on a daily basis. This product fit my needs had a very good price as well. I would recommend this product.

Purchased October 2013 - Original review was 4 stars Update: October 2017 - Updated review is 3 stars After a couple years of using maybe once a month on average the expanding handle "lock" started getting loose. It progressively reached a point of literally not locking at all. I have resorted to using electrical tape to tape up the joint and leaving it expanded. I used it this way for a few months and then the handle broke from the wheel. I used epoxy to repair. Overall still satisfied given what I paid for it, but drop from 4 stars to 3 due to the failures. ***Original Review Below*** ~BACKGROUND~ I purchased this wheel tape measure to measure long distances over various types of terrain outdoor and indoor (warehouse). ~PROS~ - Easy to read Odometer - Expands and collapses for easy storage - Twisting the handle locks the expansion sections in place - Rubber wheel maintains solid contact with surfaces ~CONS~ - No way to lock the handle in place when it is collapsed, so it has a tendency to expand on its own - Smells terrible when first removed from the box. Very strong rubber odor. Several months later the rubber stills smells. ~CONCLUSION~ Overall I am pleased with the walking wheel tape measure. Especially for the price.

I had tough time to reset from day one, but thought I would live with it. But, now it is completely broken. I barely used it to measure 500 feet all together. I can not reset with certainty. The scales wont roll with certainty. Money down the drain.

Looks to be made good and will come in handy for measuring big areas

It works well though the quality is pretty poor. I basically extended it and glued it at full length because the extenders wore out right away. But the wheel itself is accurate enough so merits 4 stars

In my profession, this comes handy so I can accurately measure how far my patient walked, its a bit bulky but works good. My colleagues asked me where I bought it and I told them I ordered it online, its a good buy.

Made it easy to take pictures of readouts of distances of the stolen trees, and sizes of trees, saved me so much time and effort, thanks
