Helix - Flexible Stainless Steel Non Skid Ruler 12 Inch/30cm - Crafting & Construction Measurement - Precision & Stability - Durable & Rust-Resistant Design

Great quality. Highly recommend.

It’s pretty simple, it’s stainless steel, it measures things and the cork on the bottom keeps it from sliding around on surfaces. It was exactly what my son needed.It looks good and works perfectly. If you need a nonskid ruler, you won’t be disappointed.

I like that it is non-skid and flexible. It is made to last a lifetime. I use it several times a day for reading line by line on contracts and such. It is wonderful. I use the measurements both in mm and inches and it is right on. When I am ordering supplies and need the exact measurement this ruler gives me the exact measurement. It makes my life easier !!!

Look, I'm not saying this Helix ruler has commitment issues, but it clearly couldn't decide between steel and wood. It's like the mullet of measuring tools - business in the front, party in the back.Let's start with the good stuff. The steel half is pretty slick. It's flexible enough to measure around curves, which is great for those of us who can't draw a straight line to save our lives. The non-skid feature is a nice touch too. No more chasing your ruler across the desk like it's trying to escape your terrible DIY projects.Now, onto the wooden half. I'm not sure if they ran out of steel or if this is some sort of metaphor for life's duality. Either way, it's there, looking about as useful as a chocolate teapot. It doesn't affect the measurements, but it does make you question the ruler's life choices.Speaking of measurements, they're clear and easy to read. No squinting required, which is a plus for those of us who pretend we don't need reading glasses.Durability-wise, it's a mixed bag. The steel part could probably survive the apocalypse, while the wooden half might not make it through a light drizzle. It's like they're in a competition to see which material gives up first.In conclusion, this ruler is perfect if you can't decide between modern and rustic decor. It'll measure your stuff just fine, but don't expect NASA-level precision. It's more "good enough for government work" than "measure twice, cut once."Four stars because it does its job, provides some entertainment, and hasn't spontaneously combusted yet. Just don't use it to measure your expectations.

Durable

This ruler RULES!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist.) I like the ruler and the cork backing so it won't skid across the paper while I'm using it. I like these for reading spreadsheets so I can zero in on the line I need to see without worrying that it moved to a different row if I have to walk away from it or if I bump my desk at all. Nice quality ruler at a great price; would recommend.

I just dont like the wooden things in the back, made drawing straight line very difficult

These rulers are the best. I've had a 15" Helix for 15 years and it still looks as new as this one I ordered recently so I could have another in a different desk in the house. Cork backing is useful for protecting what you are measuring. They are worth the money-- they will last you!
