    You Can Conquer the Label!
    These are nice six (6) inch rulers...just what my nephew needed for school and I love the flexibility in them, hopefully he won’t break them. After reading other reviews on these rulers, I was a bit hesitant to buy them, due to the sticker and how difficult others said it was to remove it. Well, I like Westcott Products and I trust the name, so I ventured out there. Well, it wasn’t too difficult and I was able to remove them and the glue with ease. Here is what I did: 1) Slowly peeled off the sticker so that the adhesive would remain on the label instead of the ruler; 2) Rubbed each area where the label was removed on the ruler with Extra Virgin Olive Oil using a paper towel (Sam’s Brand a shouldn’t matter though); 3) Placed both rulers in hot water with Dawn Dishwashing Liquid (Any fragrance should work) and allowed them to soak for about 20 minutes; 4) Used a plastic-type pot scrubber to scrub the existing glue right off the back of the rulers, rinsed them down and dried them with another clean paper towel. Just like new, with no signs of a label ever being placed on them. Hope this helps!

      This is a useful, functional inexpensive plastic ruler. I own a number of them. Being plastic, it will over time wear, scratch, get gouged, or even break if stressed. At $2 a ruler, this is quite acceptable. If not heavily used or abused, it can last for years or even decades.

      One thing that stunned me was the number of one star reviews here from people who criticized this ruler SOLELY because they were so profoundly ignorant of how to deal with common issues they did not know how to remove a sticky label from a piece of plastic!

      The solution (pun intended) is ligher fluid. This voltatile, but not all THAT flamable solvent dissolves a large variety of glues and adhesives without harming plastic. Note lighter fluid is a relatively pure variant of mineral spirits. Being a mix of linear hydrocarbons, and NOT involving benzene rings, it is pretty much harmless, and not associated with toxicity or causing of cancer.

      Apply lighter fluid liberally, wait, attempt to peel the label, and if parts of label tear off apply the fluid again, wait, and gently scatch off remaining bits with your fingernail.

      A lot of reviews complain about the large sticker placed on the ruler. It is true, there is an annoying sticker on it, and you can't peel it off just out of the box. The way to remove it is to warm it up with a hairdryer and remove it then - comes off like a charm, leaves no traces or sticky residue. This works for pretty much any sticker on a plastic or metal surface. Try it, you'll be amazed. You're welcome.

      Other than that, it's transparent and on the thin and flexible side as far as rulers go. One side is in inches and the other in mm. It seems like it would only break by applying an obviously excessive amount of force (I can't tell exactly how much because I don't want to break it). I bought it for measuring maps/navigation when hiking in the back country, and it's perfect for that.

      Absolute garbage. The simple act of applying a super adhesive upc label completely ruins this otherwise nice ruler.

      You may think "oh I'll just take the upc off, can't be that hard." You'd be wrong.

      You can try to peel it off at a corner and itll seem you you're making progress then for no reason at all it tears. You'll try all 4 sides then come to the conclusion that you must push the sticker off using something soft so you don't scratch the plastic. You get the majority of it off to be left with a sticky residue that turns the item from a ruler to a damn fan everything you place it on a piece of paper. Ok maybe just get rid of that little bit of residue with Goo-Gone, that'll do the trick! No. You see this stickiness was made in the land of irony where Goo-Gone only works to smear the stickiness over the entire ruler. As a last put of desperation you try to wash it in hot water with industrial oil removing soap - that'll get rid of anything! Yes, and everywhere it gets rid of it it leaves an opaque area that mocks your purchase until you finally give up and toss it in the trash. Because $2 is not worth the trip to return it to Amazon.

      Do not buy this ruler. Or if you buy this ruler, realize it will always have a big ugly UPC sticker that blocks half of the numbers. Woe is me for trying to purchase a small ruler made of cheap plastic only to turn into an hour ordeal of frustration. At this point, I feel like the company should be paying me. And I had gotten two of these damn things!

      Anyways, you've been warned.

      How exciting can a ruler be? Not much, however for keeping logs as a trucker this is a great one. Most 6" rulers are just that when using for logs the are just a touch short as a straight edge. This is just a bit longer letting you make nice straight lines over the whole line area. Nice and wide stays put while making entries. Silly, yes but every day of my life is recorded and put on a log page, working or not. Sometimes even the smallest details in a item make a difference in your day. I'll take a positive no matter how small. Oh, and a buck sixty nine just what I needed for free shipping on another order, win-win!!
      I had not looked at the reviews until I posted mine. To all those who were outwitted by the sticker. Seriously??! Peel it off and rub off the residue with a eraser. Geesh.

      This is almost the same as a ruler I had that came with my high school math set. That ruler disappeared long ago and I've been trying out other rulers sold separately, but they all seem flawed. This is perfect. I know others have had trouble removing the sticker, but with some baby oil and elbow grease I got most of it off, then with a standard white eraser I removed the rest of the residue. Now I have a great small ruler in my pencil case again.
