Distance Measuring Wheel
A Distance Measuring Wheel is a handheld instrument used to measure distances by rolling its wheel along the ground. Each rotation corresponds to a known linear distance (the circumference of the wheel), and an attached counter (mechanical or digital) keeps track of the total distance traveled. It is widely used in surveying, construction, road work, mapping, landscaping, utilities, and any application where linear ground measurements are needed.
