Road and utilities crews have a unique situation when it comes to selecting a measuring wheel. Working near the road can be dangerous and minimal time should be spent on the road side near dangerous traffic conditions.
Most workers using a distance measuring wheel while marking locations with spray paint (aka "marking paint", or "upside down marking paint"). The user has the measuring wheel in one hand and the paint in the other. So in order to mark a specific point you either have to bend down and apply the paint or carry a separate bulky inverted spray wand. In both cases your hands are filled with no way to write down any notes, other than to lay one of the items in your hand down. And, your finger can get very tired spraying paint all day. Hence, paint marking measuring wheels like Keson’s RRPA182 is a great solution to these problems.
