Shinwa 24" Extruded Aluminum Cutting Rule Ruler Gauge with Non slip rubber Backing 33295

I bought this and a Pacific ruler on Amazon, since I couldn't really choose looking just at pictures, descriptions, and reviews.No question this is the better ruler for me. It is thicker, and I like the feature of a thick cutting edge. It is easier to read, and just seemed like better quality, even though this was Aluminum, and Pacific was stainless.No contest for me, the Shinwa was the best, hands down.

WOW, I just love this cutting ruler, it is now my go-to ruler for cutting, it stays put when you want to cut something, that is because of the rubber pad on the bottom side. I fell in love with it the first time I went to use it to cut some Foam-core material. It worked like a champ and was so easy to use.Definitely give this a shot, the markings on it are very easy to read and when you put pressure on it as you start to cut, it stays put and the blade follows the straightedge like a champ. Great cuts each and every time. I highly recommend this product, definitely give them a try.

It is well-made and perfect for what it is supposed to do. Measure and mark without moving. Thank you

*Accuracy and attention to detail I’ve come to expect from Shinwa*Rubber backing is sticky enough and easily cleaned if gets dusty*Raised ridges in aluminum provide adequate feeling of safety while cutting, but not going to prevent user error* Accurate enough for just measuring and marking, firm-hold for cutting almost a bonus*Wish Shinwa made more tools available in Imperial or dual Metric-Imperial!

I misplaced my 18 inch stainless ruler I used mostly as the straight edge to cut material. It would flex a lot. I got this at 24 inches It is very meaty, flat and true. I really expected it to be all bent up from shipping. The foam backer is perfect, not too thick like the obligatory stainless rulers and it stays put. I could see where one might need to clean it as it lost its stickiness. from dust and stuff.I can make a very long straight cuts and this ruler will stay straight and flat unlike my old one where I would have to move my fingers down every few inches. I LOVE IT.The only concern I have is the edge is just the aluminum ruler material and could see where your cutting tool could/would cut into it but not yet.
