Our verdict

A plain stainless steel straight edge with fine inch and metric markings. The title calls it flexible, so firm downward pressure is needed during cuts.

Overview

Guiding a pencil or craft knife along its metal edge is what this Officemate ruler is for. Stainless steel forms the body, and a cork backing is named in the title.

Fine markings and a corrosion resistant material make it a general purpose tool for school, office and craft tables. The limitation is thickness, which the listing does not state, so rigidity under a blade is unconfirmed.

Who it's for

School desks, office drawers and craft tables suit a ruler this size. Workshop users marking long boards, or cutting thick material along an edge, will outgrow it.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Stainless steel body
  • Fine inch graduations
  • Metric markings as well
  • Cork backing listed
Cons
  • Thickness not listed
  • Flexible, so it can bend under pressure

Performance notes

Accuracy depends on the markings and on a straight edge that does not wear, which stainless steel resists. A flexible ruler flexes under pressure, so a steady hand and the cork backing do the work when a blade follows it. Fine graduations are read most easily when viewed straight on.
