1.0 out of 5 stars Print Comes Off, August 3, 2010

The printing on this ruler wears off and you are left with a piece of steel with a few numbers and black marks. This is a good ruler when you first get it but the line are pretty important to... MEASURE THINGS! Steel rulers are much better than plastic. Now Westcott needs to come up with a better way to make the numbers and lines... try laser engraving!!! Do that and I will buy one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Eventually turns into a nice metal stick, December 19, 2010

This review is from: Westcott Stainless Steel Office Ruler With Non Slip Cork Base, 18" (Office Product)

Never thought I'd review a ruler, but this is just such a ripoff. I bought the aluminum version of this and I really loved it when I first bought it, it seemed heavy and well made. I thought this would be the last ruler I'd ever have to buy. But after two months of VERY occasional use, the print is starting to come off! It looks like it's 30+ years old now. What good is a ruler with no print? The Westcott name on this ruler is meaningless, the original Westcott quality is obviously not there anymore. Oh well, the logo will probably rub off soon too anyway.

A steel Ruler is a steel ruler - not much to say about it. Most, including this one, have a cork backing so they will be non-scratching and non-slipping. The one on this looks nice but unfortunately the manufacturer put a product sticker with UPC and other info right in the middle of the cork backing. It's the kind of sticker that will never come off of a surface which isn't smooth and sealed (and the cork is neither) without tearing and leaving a gluey mess of torn sticker paper that is impossible to get off.

Yeah, that is a relatively minor complaint but one that I find extremely irritating.
