I gave this ruler five stars because it was exactly what I needed for my business it was accurate and sturdy and the foam padding which is labeled as rubber still works to help the ruler from not moving while cutting or measuring. Although the edges on this ruler are very sharp I cut my knuckle deep on my first use of this ruler and the edges should be rounded at least.
The packaging was perfect. The rulers are very sharp so they needed to be double boxed.
Good job, easy to read and easy to use.

This is a good ruler that serves different purposes. It was the longest I have ever found for my husband. He looked at a great deal and all he desired was a long seethrough ruler that would allow him to view underneath the drawings in order to minimize errors. He went to an architect's shop and although there were many to choose from, they were mostly wood and aluminum. It is ideal for many reasons. You will not be disappointed.
It is extremely valued in all forms of handwriting work. In terms of consistency, the format is metric and imperial. It is clear so you can always tell if you are in the right spot. It is light and flexible. Also, it is very easy to move around while working. There is no rubber or anything to prevent it from slipping. However, it is very easy to hold in place because of its light weight.
It is great for drawing because you can see through the ruler and because of the grid.
That was the thing I was looking for. I make my own patterns for clothing and I was looking for a long, clear ruler that is combined imperial and metric. It is very flexible. I am able to measure curves easily if I require to, without feeling fearful as I brake the ruler. I would buy it again, and I would recommend it.
This ruler is amazing. I am a customer, and I love this product. I can read the measurements on the ruler. It is flexible, which makes it easier to measure the arms eye of a pattern or the neck curve. I am very happy with this purchase and I am excited to use it for my future career.

That is a ruler, and that is all. I use it for cutting leather, the cork holds the ruler steady with general pressure from me, as you would expect. I have several 12" cork back rulers like this, but I needed the longer one for this purpose. I purchase my Artist Paper as a roll of 18 inches wide. This would also be perfect for cutting. Darice. Thank you for another quality product.
The classic metal ruler, kept in parents' offices for forty years, is the one I have seen in recent years. I am confused by the product photo when I ordered it, I believed that the blue edges in the photo was a rubber edging on the ruler itself. It turns out the ruler arrives in a blue plastic sleeve, which you pull out to be a plain metal ruler. In case anyone else is confused about the meaning of blue, I am sharing.
These are the only rulers I use. The cork on the bottom ensures that it does not slip when you are measuring. The metal edge is always precise and accurate. I regularly use this ruler as a guide to cut cardboard, mat, or paper. It's better than anything.
It is a metal ruler with a cork underside. I use it to tear paper and straighten edges. Good, grippy cork, well adhered. The edges are nice and sharp for any uses, such as tearing paper or forming a crease. At 24 inches, you will never be short.
It is a ruler. So what can I say? It seems to be strong and straight. The cork doesn't feel cheap, or like it will flake off. The only thing I find is that the corners are very sharp, but in order to keep a straight edge, there is not much that can be done.
WHAT WE LIKED MOST:
It is a great product for hobbyists, artists, and book makers who need to accurately cut bookboard. Rotary or knife cutting is much easier and safer. It is ideal for cutting papers, leathers, and other substrates on a large cutting mat.
The clear 24inch ruler with a handle is very helpful when using a rotary cutter. It is easy to use and wide enough that your hand is out of the way when cutting. I don't need to check the accuracy because I use it to maintain a straight edge. It is more simple than holding a ruler steady.
It's the perfect size to help you easily see the numbers. I purchased this ruler for use with baking. I use a ruler to measure in inches and centimeters while baking, and this works great. I also adore the handle.
I have had one for more than thirty years, and wanted to replace it. It is fast shipping as well.
A carpenter at my residence had one. It was so handy that I wanted one. It is a level, straight edge, and ruler. It is simple to use, and light weight.
WHAT WE LIKED MOST:
If you have tried to cut something with a utility knife using a standard steel ruler then you know the results can be less than stellar and your fingertips are very much in danger. This ruler was designed for that type of work. It is very stiff because of the extrusion. The cutting edge is smooth and straight. It is wide enough to keep your fingers out of the danger zone. Also the rubber backing prevents it from shifting during a midcut. I have used it on leather and paper with rotary cutters and traditional Xacto blades and could not be happier with it.
The edge of this weapon is straight and thick enough to guide either a blade or a rotary with superb accuracy. The lightweight and thick enough to keep your fingers out of the cutting process as a bonus.
I bought this cutting rule to replace a plastic level that I had been using as a straightedge. It has a plastic sleeve that protects it. I wish that I purchased this years ago.
I have owned a lot of rulers over the years. Both have their own set of pros and cons. My favorite is aluminum due to its lightweight property, and the ability to recycle 100% of the material at the end of the product lifecycle. The issue with aluminum rulers is that it is an extremely soft and malleable metal. If you don't take proper care of them, hang or store them in a particular place after every use, they will be prone to bending or denting. Other aluminum rulers I have owned either use a low quality non slip foam or plainly none. This ruler is different, however. This ruler is constructed like a tank. The rule markings are very clear, the foam backing is a nice quality and is applied properly and most importantly, it is a very sturdy ruler in construction. I beams are excellent at holding a lot of stuff that has been built around us. The ruler is the most durable I have ever used. I couldn't seem to find a metric rule on Amazon. I will locate it, purchase it, and have it shipped to my door immediately. I think this ruler deserves five stars.
It was exactly what I wanted, sturdy, light, easy to read, and it has a hanging hole. The one for measuring and the other for cutting.

I use a metal ruler with cork backing as an artist of whimsical drawings created with ink and colored pencils. The artists know that ink can damage and ruin drawings by running under rulers and blobbing ink. Blobbing is a problem. To prevent blobbing my beloved metal ruler with cork backing has always been there for me. It was there when I reached for it. For a period of many years, more than fifty years to be exact. I believe my friend was gone. I was in shock and horror when I saw this. These people who are willing to make art choices must have a replacement for old blue. While we are still getting to know each other, I can happily say that I am no longer shaking or twitching. It is attempting to do its best to meet the standard of Old Blue. I am considering calling it New Blue. I think it is doing a great job. I'm afraid I'll not be unflattering New Blue with Old Blue's memories. I'm in favor of people who tangle.
I never thought I would actually be someone, but soon after ordering these 24inches Non Slip Steel Ruler, I found that the staff at National Art threw a party in my honor. I am deeply humbled and have something new to measure. Thank you National Art that runs pretty deep today, 20 feet to be precise.
I use it for alignment on my cutting mat. Because this is a cork backing, the metal construction is strong. The granular, 1/32" mark is on the first inch and on the normal 1/4" after that. The weight is inches on one side, and the thickness is cm. You should order it just for the fun confirmation email they send you.'
I decided that I needed a ruler to draw straight lines for my canvas artwork. I already bought their foot long ruler, but hadn't needed a yardstick. This alternative is a happy option that could also be employed for a minor construction project or cloth work. The item is made of metal, which prevent warping and enhances wearability. I enjoyed this product very much. I can recommend it to anyone who sees a need for such a product.
I did a ton of research before I bought this ruler. I have seen poor reviews on Amazon so I cannot understand why. This ruler is accurate, well made, solid stainless steel, and is clearly etched and marked. I cannot think of one negative opinion about it. I am a guitar builder and I needed an accurate ruler that was accurate to 36" on the guitar. I could not be happier. I really enjoyed the price. I highly recommend this ruler to anyone. It is flexible. It is a ruler instead of a ground rigid straight edge. They are measuring devices made in Germany and I have found that they are of the highest quality.

For some reason people who are interested in 24" Steel Rulers know that they are priced high. That is a wonderful bargain. A beautiful and wellmade item with deeply etched numbers and a firm cork backing. It is a straight edge that can be used as a cutting edge for project. A brushed surface allows a brighter light to be used above projects without glare entering the eyes. I covered the top surface with clear vinyl so as to maintain the darkness of the numbering. Most, even the best, are painted surfaces and will wear with use. You can purchase it with confidence.
The shipping was prompt and the price was reasonable and it works great for me. It is effective when used to make pottery from slabs of clay.
It is a very sturdy metal ruler. I find it to be nice to have something in between. Sometimes, a yard stick is too long. A 12-inch stick is too short.
It was a good item for the shop.
WHAT WE LIKED MOST:
This is a very high quality aluminum ruler. One side is 1/8" graduated while the other side is 1/16". It is a nice advantage to have 48 instead of 36. A large hole on one end allows it to be hung over a peg for easy storage when not in use.
It took me some time to buy this product. The customer service was superb. They made sure I had the ruler. You will find the best deal.
The ruler's weight is good and it is sturdy. Numbers are very clear and concise.
The ruler is inexpensive, and I love it. If you flip it over, you get the same unit of measurement you were using, but measuring from the other direction. For precision drawing this was a good idea. Two of the worst things about this ruler is that it is aluminum, so it bends extremely easily. It is like being leaning against the wall can put a bend in it. The print is not set into the aluminum so it could potentially rub off with usage. The purpose of this was obviously to make the ruler more affordable.
These Kapro rulers are fantastic. They're straight, however, they're obviously no substitute for a high quality straight edge if you're doing precision work. Do not shy away from using one of these for basic work around the shop, if you cannot afford a quality straight edge. I immediately purchased 2 of the first one, when I saw them go on Special. The numbers are silkscreened on, but that is not an issue if you are not really using them to measure.
WHAT WE LIKED MOST:
I bought this ruler to cut fabrics for quilting. I love the length and quality of the ruler. It is easy to use with my rotary cutter.
These are a must have for the hobbyist, very accurate, and can curve if needed.
These are ideal to use as number lines with magnets and clips in a special needs classroom.
The ruler does what it should with the cork back. The only issue is that I should have used an 18inch ruler instead.
It is handy to have metric and the corkback is a bonus.
