Amtech 140mm Mechanical Distance Measuring Wheel, Reset Counter and Extendable Handle, Ideal for Landscaping, Fencing and DIY Measuring Tasks.

It’s cheap it’s a bit wobbly (not much) but works a charm.

Great for the price, but you'd probably want something a bit more dependable if your measurements eventually involved money changing hands. Initially, the handle kept collapsing over bumpy ground, but once I realised I hadn't suddenly turned into a giant, I just screwed them up a bit tighter.

I bought this to measure 75 allotment plots in order to calculate the rent. It arrived promptly in a reasonably sturdy box. 1st problem. It appeared to be very short, even when the handle was telescoped - only about 2 feet long. After a few days measuring plots bent almost double, one of my plot holders took it apart and we realised that the telescope mechanism wasn't working. We pulled it out to its proper length of about 3 and a half feet and locked it there. We've left it extended as it's not possible to fold it up and extend it again without taking it to bits. No matter, it wasn't very expensive. 2nd problem. After a few hundred metres of measuring, I noticed the plots seemed to be getting smaller. On investigation, the measuring mechanism had got jammed, and it wasn't going round when the wheel was rotating. I opened the mechanism up and reseated the gears, and now it works fine. It's also very accurate, now it works properly. Overall, not bad, for casual use, but buyer beware!! The quality control department have a bit of work to do....

This is a very useful gadget and it has saved me a lot of time. However when the stick is extended, it is not as sturdy as you'd think and sometimes the measuring wheel spins round. If you go slowly and are mainly on flat ground, it works well.

Exactly what I wanted, very easy to use and has made an almost impossible task (measuring woodland footpaths) very easy. Brilliant price for a great piece of kit!

Locking system does not hold. Plastic bit over distance gauge feels cheap and was peeling off. I can only assume I’ve been sent a dud. Scratches over measuring gauge. I felt this was second hand. Poor quality, feel cheap, locking system faulty, feels poor all round.

Dose the job but poor quality snapped in second week of use

Bought the same model previously and had it a few years (only replacing due to a bit of wear and tear). Very reliable, easy to use and is telescopic so easy to store. Very quick delivery too.
