Frequently Asked Questions

How does a digital measuring wheel work?

As you walk the wheel along the ground, the wheel rotation is measured and converted into a distance reading on the digital display. It is much faster than pulling a tape for long distances, and the digital readout removes the guesswork of reading a manual wheel counter.

What is the tolerance of this wheel?

The Ingco HDMW23 has a tolerance of under 0.5 percent, which is a good trade grade accuracy for measuring distances on site. For most estimating, set out and measuring work, that is more than accurate enough, though it is not a survey instrument.

Can I measure in inches as well as metres?

Yes. The wheel has a dual metric and inch system, so you can switch the display between metres and feet or inches depending on the job. That is useful when you are working to imperial plans or referencing imperial material sizes.

How do I calibrate or check the measuring wheel?

Before measuring, roll the wheel a known distance, such as a metre on a flat floor, and compare the reading on the display. If it is out, follow the instructions in the manual to zero or adjust the wheel. Keep the wheel rolling straight and on the ground for accurate readings, and check the batteries are fresh.
