Beyond basic distance takeoffs, the XLU3 can help with estimating work from plans by calculating square and cubic dimensions for regular areas and volumes. If you’re working from reduced, enlarged, or otherwise odd-scale drawings, it can calculate an auto-scale factor so you can keep moving without manual conversions.
Helpful field features include probe-tip counter and adder buttons (for counting items or adding fixed lengths as you scale), a clear audible tone to confirm wheel movement, plus/minus mode to back up and subtract over-rolled distance, and automatic shut-off with a low-battery indicator.
- 111 built-in scales plus support for thousands of user-defined scale factors (imperial and metric)
- Auto-calculates scale factor from reduced, enlarged, or odd-scale drawings
- Measures in inches, feet, yards, miles, centimeters, meters, and kilometers
- Calculates square and cubic dimensions for regular areas and volumes
- Probe-tip counter/adder buttons for counting items or adding fixed lengths during takeoffs
- Create, store, and retrieve two user-defined scale factors
- Audible tone indicates wheel movement
- Automatic shut-off and low battery indicator for battery management
- Plus/minus mode lets you roll backward to subtract an over-measurement
What’s included: The PlanWheel XLU3 uses 2 AAA batteries (included). Compact size (5 x 0.9 x 9.5 inches) and light weight (4 oz) make it easy to keep in a bag or tool pouch.
