Good ruler costed less than my gluestick

awesome ruler my daughter loves it. no worries about it breaking like the wooden ones i used in grade school. this ruler will be around for a while. great purchase shipped in what i thought was a large box for one item otherwise another great purchase from amazon

Finally, a ruler that won't have to be replaced in a month or two! Because of the flexibility my child can carry it to and from school in her backpack without it breaking. Very impressed.

First off the graphics on this puppy is very nice: high contrast, good font choices. It also seems very durable. If all you need are rulers and maybe some okay edges, say for a geometry class, then they're awesome. If you want edges that are accurately straight, look elsewhere. The edges are poorly aligned/cut. The ruler marks (black lines) extend past the edge, slightly, resulting in a bumpy ride for your drawing implement. You will not draw a straight line with these edges ever. Fortunately it's not terribly expensive so I will keep it, even though my reason for buying it was entirely because I needed some good straight edges that would not wear out quickly.
