Review: Possibly the safest safety ruler available - I'm tired of most so called safety rulers designed for guiding cuts. Every one I have seen features marks that catch a knife blade and / or don't offer any real protection for your fingers. This one is vastly different. The edge is smooth and safe to cut against. And the flip up finger guard offers real protection. I feel confident in using this ruler for it's intended purpose. The soft grip on the underside is nice and ensures no slippage. The machining of the parts is impressive and clean. At currently £14.99 each, it might seem expensive for a ruler. But the design and quality of this ruler is certainly worth the cost in my opinion. I am honestly disappointed that I don't need to use it more often. As with any safety device, it is no substitute for safe practices. Use and enjoy with care.
Review: Very nice - Really good ruler, although it should be for the price. The safety feature works really well and inspires confidence when you're using it. I see this lasting for a long time, especially if it's not mistreated.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you use it?**
A: It has a slightly convex rubberised strip on the back so is not prone to slipping like normal, flat stainless steel rulers. I use it with a Swann-Morton scalpel (very sharp) for cutting/scoring plasticard. If you ensure that the fold up flap is between your fingers pressing down on the ruler and the knife you are cutting with, the flap helps to prevent drawing blood in the event of a slip. A very good safety feature if you are using something very sharp like a scalpel. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can you use it to cut a 45 degree bevel on mounting board?**
A: I doubt it as the cutting edge is squared off. Imperial Global Ltd

**Q: Is this ruler rubber backed underneath?**
A: It has a non-slip backing underneath. I'm not sure if it's rubber, but it works, stops slipping and doesn't damage the surface that it is used on. A very good product.

**Q: What kind of metal is it?**
A: Possibly steel or aluminium and would recommend this product.
