Westcott W-10 6-Inch 8ths Graph Ruler, Transparent, 1 x 6 in

UPDATE FIRST: CHANGING MY REVIEW TO 5 STARS: WHY: I didn't think that this ruler would become my go-to ruler. But because I underline a lot in books, I didn't realize/ I forgot that with my old, stiffer ruler, that I was always missing the word closest to the center of the book, because the ruler wouldn't bend that far, to help me underline the last (or first) word on the line. Well, this ruler bends so well, it follows the curve of the page perfectly, and I can underline the whole thing just great! So I'm changing my review to 5 stars from 4! Old review: Okay, so these rulers have a W-10 on them (See the top 2 in the photo.) My old ones (Bottom Westcott) have a B-50. Not sure what the official difference is between them beside that the B-50 costs twice as much, but I will tell you that I believe that the W-10 only uses plastic that is half as thick as the B-50. The B-50 is nice and firm, it bends a little, but basically feels like a normal ruler, and would not, for instance, wrap itself around a cup. These, however, are much thinner, and would certainly wrap around a small cup. Another reviewer said that they would make good bookmarks, and I agree, they are that thin, whereas the B-50 would be a little too heavy for a bookmark, and would probably fall out. I haven't tried underlining with it yet, but I suspect that I will choose my B-50 when I am using a good, thick pen, and when I am using my "01" thin tips, the W-10 will probably work in that case. So not super happy that it's not as thick as the B-50, but I'll give it a try anyway.

I wanted a small ruler no bigger than 6” to put in my pencil case to take with me when I’m doing markets and making ornaments on the spot. It’s flexible, but not flimsy. The print isn’t 100% flat (if you scraped your nail along it lightly you’d feel it), but I’m ok with it. It doesn’t hinder the usage at all. I care more about whether the print is going to stay on. It’s printed with graph lines and protractor lines which is perfect for my needs. My husband loved it so much he tried to steal mine, so I had to order him his own! 100% worth the money (I even bought a back up ruler!)

I bought this to use in my bullet journal. It works great. Only issue I have had is since it is a flexible ruler and is thinner than most rulers if I'm not careful my pen will slip under the ruler if I'm not making sure to hold down the ruler. This could just be user error and pressing the pen too hard against it. It is very light and thin enough to use as a book mark in my bullet journal making it very portable and convenient. It is clear and the grid style of the ruler makes it easy to make sure it is lined up and straight. However I probably would not pay more than I have for it (which was less than a dollar) because after all it is just a small piece of thin plastic. Depending on how it is taken care of could easily be damaged so I would not store loose in a back back or in a way that will allow it to bend so it may not be suitable for younger kids for school depending on how they store it and take care of their things.

Nice little ruler. A bit short.

Can’t find the one I’ve had for at least 30 years. Replacement seems to be exactly the same. Perfect tool for measuring hems. Some other transparent rulers don’t measure from the very end of the ruler. That’s a more accurate way to measure in some situations, but useless for sewing. This ruler has the zero mark right at the corner so it can be slipped into a folded hem and you can mark or pin your hem exactly. I will make sure this one gets put back in my sewing box! They do also sell similar rulers marked in 10ths rather than 8ths of an inch. For sewing you want to make sure to get this kind marked in 8ths. (Sewing is done in fractions of an inch, 5/8” is commonly used.)

This ruler fits in the sleeve of my notebook so I always have it at hand.

I've been using this type of 12-inch grid ruler for a while now, and it’s truly the best one I’ve ever owned. The grid design is fantastic—it makes measurements so much easier and more precise. The markings are clear and easy to read, even after frequent use. What I love most is the balance between sturdiness and flexibility. It’s durable enough to handle regular use without bending out of shape, yet it has just enough flexibility to adapt to different surfaces. This ruler has been my go-to for everything from crafting to everyday tasks, and it’s held up beautifully. If you’re looking for a reliable, well-designed ruler, I can’t recommend this one enough!

it's super small and bendy. not what i was expecting. it's just exactly 6inches with no give, unlike the clear ruler next to it. and it is super thin and bendy. not bad if you're looking for a cardboard-thick, low-key ruler. i like the grid lines but much smaller than expected.

Nice, clear ruler

Ideal for my leather work .See through easy to use, makes it so simple to get an exact border around the item I am making.

Flimsy plastic and was broken when received.
