From the Manufacturer
Whether you're measuring backyards for fencing or unpaved roads for a future highway, the Keson 3-foot RoadRunner is a perennial best seller thanks to its reliability and versatility. Precision molded out of impact-resistant ABS, the RR318N is proudly built in the U.S.A. and is designed for years of use. Its pistol-like rubberized grip allows for a sure hold and effortless steering when measuring, which in combination with the telescoping handle for adjustable height eases user fatigue and improves accuracy. The RR318N is even ideal for use on curved surfaces or uneven ground. The magnifying lens above the five-digit counter increases their size for easier reading and measuring. It’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

I finally purchased quality, and even for a decent price. The Keson measuring wheel seems to be very good quality. #1 it has a contoured handle, so your wrist doesnt get tired after extensive use. #2, it has a locking extension rod, which cant slip, and seems to be very good. #3, the reset button seems to work very well, and doesnt get stuck, and is very easy to see and use. #4, it has a nifty kickstand, which I have found I use all the time. It even can be used in rough, or rocky situations, unlike another posting which said you couldnt.
I have been very impressed with this tool since I purchased it! I measure properties for a living, ranging from vacant land (5300 acres) to small 1/8 acre lots with small homes. I measure square footage, and land area. I measure between 5 to 35 properties per month, and I am constantly using it. If anyone would know about a wheel, and the quality of one, it would be me. Take my word for it, as of now... I believe Keson to be a good quality tool for many different uses.
TA
It's well made and well thought out. I have seen negative comments about the stand for many of these measuring wheels and the stand is similar if not identical for all of them. The stand is simple, light weight and meant to be used on a flat and level surface and works perfectly fine when used properly. I didn't realize that this measured in inches, I was under the impression that it was in feet only, needless to say I was very impressed. The large wheel is well suited for terrain that is flat as well as uneven, mine will primarily be used on somewhat rough terrain consisting of mostly dirt & rock so the larger wheel should work well for me. As a side note, the measuring wheels with the small 4" diameter wheel would almost certainly be useless for anything other than very flat/smooth surfaces.
Being 6'3" it would be nice if this extended more than it does. That being said, it's not to terribly short and if it weren't for having a bad back & knees, I probably wouldn't have mentioned it.
