The gear meter will actually continue to spin with only air being moved through the meter for example when a chemical shuttle runs empty. With the gear meter a paddle flow switch is also added to detect liquid flow. SureFire ships the unit with a 30 mesh strainer and strongly recommends no larger strainer be used. The operator must rinse the strainer bowl to manage chemical contamination for crop/chemical combinations that could cause damage. To prevent anything from jamming the metering gears, a strainer must be used on the chemical products. The gear meter is a mechanical meter with spinning gears unlike the mass meter with no moving parts. The precision gear meter is a lower cost option that still offers improved measurement accuracy compared to many meters used in the industry. The premium mass meter is the same meter used in the QuickDraw Max fully automated system. Hopefully they will enlighten us soon.SureFire offers the QuickDraw Lite spray tender with two flowmeter options.
The MetalMark model makes a one picture appearance at the bottom of the QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure website but other than the picture itself, there are no details at the moment at the time of writing this article. There is no retailer info so I can’t retrieve pricing info or any other info. Other than this fact there is not much else known about the QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure MetalMark model. The above mention QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure is called the GraphiteMark model and there’s also a green model named the MetalMark which is nearly identical but in green and instead of laying down graphite lead, it lays down chalk to make it easier to lay down marks on metal.
Luckily even with all the new upgrades, the new QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure is priced the same around $20.Īnd a bit more news regarding the new QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure, is that it also comes in two varieties. Besides being an accessory to store extra lead, it can also act like a lead pencil to make marks.
The RollMark keychain accessory also has the same wheel mechanism used on the tape measure and can also lay down marks. You can clip it onto your keychain and always have extra lead on hand. Good thing the new QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure includes a new RollMark Keychain accessory to hold extra lead. I lost mine not too long after, I eventually found it, but now I can’t remember where I placed it so I would have to look for it again. But you always have to worry about small extra parts getting lost. I found this to be a great inclusion so that I wouldn’t have to buy any immediately after the on board lead would run out. The original QuickDraw Tape Measure came with a tiny lead holder with extra lead. I would hope that this has been addressed on this new QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure. It didn’t feel rugged like other more established tape manufactures and the worsts part of the original in my short experience with it was that the blade brake clamps down on the blade and leaves nasty bends on the steel tape. Although they claim the tape itself to be a rugged, nylon coated steel tape for extra durability, I wasn’t crazy about the original steel tape that they used on the first model.
The new QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure has all the same styling and features of the original although now is a bright red instead of the Darth Vader all-black design of the previous model. It seems that QuickDraw listened to it’s users and according to them have improved several areas of concern for their previous tape with an all new QuickDraw Pro Tape Measure. The QuickDraw self marking tape measure had a great idea and great implementation although for a $20 tape measure it lacked the same fit, finish, and feel of the pro brand tape measures. Last year the emerging company QuickDraw produced a slick new tape measure with the built in ability to to lay down marks without the need to attach pencils, pens, or markers.
