Calculated Industries DigiRoller Plus II



The Calculated Industries DigiRoller Plus II is an awesome Distance Measuring Wheel. We've played with one here at the office, and used one in the field. Anyone can get fast, accurate measurements for on-site linear, area and volume estimates with the DigiRoller Plus II Measuring Wheel. Built-in functions automatically calculate and store square footage, cubic volumes and more for up to 9 different areas.

One of the best features about the Digiroller Plus II is that it works and converts in all Imperial and Metric units. Before you start measuring, you can push a button and select Feet-Inches, Decimal Feet, Decimal Inches, Yards, Meters, or Acres. The LCD panel has light if you're in a low lit or dim area or time of day. The handle and rolling feel solid and positive. After rolling a few measurements, I put the kickstand down and leaned the Digiroller on it so I could use both hands and write my measurements down on paper, a very nice feature. Also, I found I could roll a length, press L, then roll another length and press W, then press LxW and get the square area of the area I just measured two sides of. Very nice since it saved me from having to walk the other two sides. Within minutes of using and testing the Digiroller Plus II, I was wanting one for myself.
