Flexible yet durable stainless steel ruler

I already have several of these shorter lengths and use them whenever I need a straight line or an accurate measurement. The cork prevents the ruler from slipping off when drawing and the fact that the cork is thin allows the pencil or pen to slide very close to the edge. Nonetheless, I bought this ruler to hide the extra tiles that were removed when I increased the depth of the cabinet. for the gas stove that I installed in place of the electric stove. I removed the plug, cleaned it with…

Pros
  • FLEXIBLE AND WATERPROOF - Flexible enough to measure curved surfaces. The cork is waterproof and lifts the ruler off the work surface.
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Sharpens without much effort.

Story: I'm a graphic designer and I needed a new cork backed line. Well this one seemed to fit the build. Well, when it arrived the ruler seemed a bit pliable, but that's not the main issue.

So, I keep reaching for the ruler, and don't you know, the ruler cut my hand pretty badly. So I'll take a bigger line than this. Pros: It's cheap, it's cork backed. Ideal for…

Pros
  • SAFE LINES. Thanks to the stopper that raises the ruler, you can draw a fine line without smearing the paper.
Cons
  • Don't remember

Slim 36 1/4 " length allows for accurate measurements.

actually measures 36 1/4" long. The fact that it extends 1/8" past the last increment lines at each end makes it easy to take precise measurements or marks; however, if you want to attach the end to something to check length or to make a mark, remember to subtract 1/8" from your measurement. This ruler looks very well made and high quality, but it is very thin and flexible. The thinness makes it easy to make precise marks. I bought it to mark glass for cutting and the cork backing prevents…

Pros
  • HIGH QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL - Constructed of high quality stainless steel with rounded corners; 18" metal colored stainless steel.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
