Westcott® 12" Stainless Steel Office Ruler with Non Slip Cork Base

Comments about Westcott� 12" Stainless Steel Office Ruler with Non Slip Cork Base:

I just thought the Non Slip Cork Base was neat. I really didn't think that it could be so great. Cutting with blades, drawing straight lines, measuring etc., really think it is a great tool.

I honestly can't say how well this works because my son uses it at school and I haven't really asked him about its uses. I love how it looks. It's very savvy.

The cork backing prevents bleeding ink under the edge.

I BOUGHT THIS RULER BECAUSE IT WAS EASY TO READ AND LAYS FLAT WHEN I NEED TO MEASURE FABRIC.

I bought this to use in making a protective leather coach's jacket (not the usual office-supply task). From past experience, I've learned that run-of-the-mill rulers won't lay flat, tend to slip around, and aren't marked precisely. I was able to make accurate measurements, and insure straight clean lines.
An unforeseen bonus was being able to use the ruler as a cutting guide. You can only do this with a steel ruler; even the brass-edged wooden rulers can't do this (in addition to being too flimsy for serious work).
