I have bought a couple roller wheels for measuring large installations. I
have yet to have one hold up to bouncing around in the truck until I need
it. Any suggestions?

I've done system in buildins a quarter mile long. Wire prices can be a
significant factor on those. Especially with today's price of wire.

Hi,
If you do need to replace or add one, check out ebay - just search under
measuring wheel.
I've gotten a couple at a fraction of what I used to pay and they've lasted
for years so far.

Wire's still relatively cheap. The labor to run 10,000 feet of cable
is expensive. A decent quality wheel from a A&E supply store should
hold up. When I was a local manager, I had 5 or 6 people sharing 2
wheels that lasted for at least the 5 years I was there.

Oh.
I do mostly residential in the last 10 or so years. But anyway,
wouldn't it be easier just to say ............... Hey ..... how long
and wide is your building? Or ask for a set of plans? Most companies
( around here, at least,) keep copies available. But .... I guess I can
see where it would come in handy, if you were doing enough of them.

I get plans when possible. Sometimes its not easy to do. I also do a some
underground work. I've done phone cable runs upto about 6 miles, and video
runs upto about 3/4 mile.

That six mile run we did in one day including pedestals trenching and back
filling. We had to wait a week for the phone company to tie in from ten
feet away. LOL.
