Customer Reviews

DigiRoller measuring wheel
Only had this newer model for a few months, but it's everything good I remember from an earlier model. Great range of measuring units including feet in decimals, feet/inches, inches, yards, and metres. Good display and backlighting option for measuring in low light. Good display even in bright sunlight - numbers don't get washed out. Has many features for measuring areas which I haven't tackled yet. An earlier model I had encountered problems with the battery terminal connections staying tight. This would result in a loss of battery power and loss of all data, usually in the middle of measuring a long length! I had to rig the battery compartment with a piece of tin foil in order to keep a tight battery connection. Doesn't appear that the newer model has significantly changed the design of the battery compartment, so time will tell if I encounter the same problems with this newer model.

A must-have if you measure a lot
I use this in my work. I also own a Rolatape 300RP. There is no comparison in convenience and functionality--the DigiRoller wins hands down. It has lots of buttons and features (like figuring sq ft areas) that I don't use (that's what a CAD program is for). I just use these wheels to measure dimensions. Since the Digi's buttons are up on top, it's easy to zero it and reset it, without having to lift the wheel up like you do the Rolatape. Also the Digi's readout can be lighted with the touch of a button--I just used the Rolatape today, for the first time in years, and, measuring a darkened area, really hated to have to walk over to a light source to see my readout. BUT here's the rub--the reason I took my Rolatape to today's job was that it was in a city that is easier to get to by train than by car, and since convenience dictated I could only bring one wheel, it had to be the old Digiroller--because it folds up smaller for public transit, and is perfectly reliable, even if a bit of a nuisance to use. I own three DigiRoller 6425's--here's the story. The first one had its handle break after a couple of years, so I epoxied it, and it works fine except that the handle only telescopes partly down now. So I bought another one, just so I'd have one that was perfectly functional in every way. That one worked flawlessly for about 3 years, then one day its readout went blank, even though the batteries were good. The next day, it worked fine again, and continues to work, but I can't afford to have anything that's not reliable, so I bought another a couple of weeks ago. So, with what you might consider a reliability problem, how come I gave 5 stars to the DigiRoller? Because I wouldn't want to be without it. It's convenient, and more accurate than the Rolatape (it shows tenths of a foot in decimals). My customers and I deserve the accuracy and ease of use available from this unit. But the bottom line is, if you're a professional and need to measure things as part of your work, I recommend you buy this unit AND a Rolatape for backup to keep in your car trunk (or take on the train!), just in case!

Product is good; seler sent it broken
I ordered two measuring wheels. The proce was good and the product is good, but the seller sent one that was not assembled properly. Rather than send a new one and a return box and shipping credit, they expected me to return the poorly assembled product at MY cost and THEN get a new one. I had to repair a new product before using.

I will not purchase from Hardware Sales Inc again, even if the choice costs me more money.
