Measuring distances
Badger:
Jack, thats what I currently use. If I am on a level surface I use my wheel that I roll along or a combination of both. I like the tape to lay out a course and the wheel for the shorter measures when I am working alone.
JackCrafty:
I've used wheels and they are OK on asphalt but really loose accuracy on grass or vegetation. When I was recording telephone cable distances (for a cable TV company) there was a built-in error of 10% assumed for wheels and range finders. I'd never use anything but tapes if I wanted accuracy. :)
Badger:
I would never consider using a wheel for anything requiring accuracy.

Why would you use a wheel for shorter distances?
Badger:
Just so I don't have to lay out a tape.
