I love this thing. It does everything it says it does, and it does it well. I'll draw attention to the plastic strip down the middle on the bottom. It hits the sweet spot of being "sticky" enough to keep things still, but not so "sticky" as to move stuff around when you are adjusting the ruler.It's a beautifully design and constructed tool.It's also VERY reasonably priced relative to other products right now.

I have a very specific requirement for this ruler. Part of this is weight and feel. I draw comic books and the ruler is in my hand all the time, I use it to do perspective lines, I use it to ink, sometimes with a brush. It has to feel a certain way for me to be happy using it. It's very difficult to explain this, but I've tried a lot of rulers. Most fall short, they are too light, too thin, knick too easily, the wrong shape, they just don't feel right. I had a french one for many years that was perfect, but it was lost and the search was on for its replacement. This is the one.

I have a few metal rulers that I've used to help me cut paper and leather, but wasn't particularly happy with them. I liked the gadgety look of this ruler, and figured I'd give it a try. I wasn't expecting anything too different from the rulers I already had. I was pleasantly surprised by what I received! This ruler has a pleasant heft to it that makes it feel solid and trustworthy. The edge lies very flat against the surface of my cutting table, and the grip underneath the ruler keeps it from sliding about; it really grips well! The cut protection feature of this ruler is really excellent; a flap on top of the ruler hinges up, and stays in place at an angle. The mechanism here is really solid and smooth; it doesn't rattle or shake. You then can put your fingers behind this angled shield, and cut along the edge of the ruler with a razor knife. Since the edge of the ruler is really flat against the surface, you don't run into the danger of your blade slipping underneath. The positioning of the flap is really well thought out; you can get your fingers right up onto the center of the ruler to put pressure on it to keep it in place. (Another cutting ruler I have only lets my fingers over about 1/3 of the ruler, and it's easy to flip it up and mess up the cut--not with this ruler!) I loved this ruler so much, I immediately bought the 24" version so I can cut longer pieces of leather. I wish they also made a 6" version of this ruler!!! (Sometimes I have to make many small cuts, and a smaller ruler would be easier to maneuver for such a job.) This is now my go-to ruler for when I am cutting things!

I used to use the typical metal cutting ruler with the foam underneath to hold it still, but didn’t like that it was raised because it would sometimes cause inaccurate long cuts. This ruler touches the paper so you can see exactly where you’re cutting. The flap on the top is not only convenient for protecting the hand holding the ruler, but makes it really easy to move the ruler by only a little bit, especially if you flip it around and use the wrong side, which I like to do because it is closer to the paper. The grip on the bottom does work as great as the foam but it works good enough that it’s worth using over the traditional cutting ruler.To recap:- The ruler rests flat agains the cutting cut face which is convenient- The flap on top makes minuscule movements very easy- The grip works well enough IF you apply a little pressure (very similar to a traditional cutting ruler- Good quality materials, and comes with a protective sleeve

Veramente robusto. Non scivola nemmeno su superfici lucide grazie al gommino presente per tutta la lunghezza. Offre la sicurezza di non tagliarsi le dita e di non rovinare il righello stesso. Molto soddisfatto e mi sento di consigliarlo.

This is a very neat, well-designed product. The fold-up finger guard provides excellent protection when cutting, but when the finger guard is folded down again, you have something that can be used as an ordinary ruler for marking out and which is easy to store. Equally important is the non-slip insert in the base, which makes it easy to hold the ruler steady even on glossy surfaces. These two features together make using a craft knife to cut materials much safer. The clever hinge design looks very robust. Before I bought it, I was a bit concerned that because the ruler is aluminium, not steel, the edge might get nicked easily by a craft knife, but having got the product, I think the edge is thick enough to make the chance of damage low, without being so thick that measurement becomes more difficult.
