Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022
When it arrived, I laughed at my error: I thought I was buying something to help cut 2 meter long leather hides at an appropriate angle.
However this is the perfect tool for me when I’m sketching out designs in one of the many journals I am constantly carrying around and doodling in.
About the same dimensions (and a tiny bit thicker) than a cheap bookmark, I highly recommend it to anyone fond of journaling.
The (very minor) negative - This thing would be a grand-slam if the increments were in 16ths of an inch, rather than 10ths of an inch (which is neither metric nor SAE / imperial). Even if it was metric it would be okay, but 10ths of an "inch" are really only useful to a draftsman (machinists measure in 1000ths).
Anyway, very handy little ruler for all kinds of stuff, so I highly recommend!
Top reviews from other countries
After reading some of the negative reviews- the edge is perfectly straight, hold it down with two fingers while drawing and you'll be just fine.
No this isn't a heavy gage stainless steel, cork backed straightedge.
No this isn't an architectural scale divider.
No this isn't a super heavy duty tool.
No it isn't a 30 cm straightedge (just as the product details spell out)
This is a 10$, multifunctional piece of plastic.
Yes it might arrive creased, just as any thin piece of plastic shipped in a paper envelope might; my firs one did- bend it back, or send it back. If I had to offer one criticism, it's that it may smudge your sketches if you aren't careful, but adding a lifted cork backing would defeat the purpose of a transparent ruler.
Can't recommend this enough!
