Overview
At 15 inches, the Officemate 66612 runs longer than a standard classroom ruler, combining a flexible stainless steel blade with a cork backing and etched 1/16 inch and metric markings. It is built for drafting, sewing, and office layout work.
The cork backing is the real point of difference here: it grips the work surface so the ruler stays put while you draw a line or make a cut, instead of sliding the way bare metal tends to on a desk. The extra 3 inches over a standard 12-inch ruler also means fewer repositions when spanning a wider layout.
- 15-inch flexible stainless steel blade
- 1/16 inch and metric etched graduations
- Cork backing for slip resistance
- Built for drafting, sewing, and office use
Who it's for
Suits drafters, sewers, and office workers who want a longer metal straight edge that will not skate around under a pencil or blade. Less useful for anyone who just needs a short pocket ruler.
Pros and cons
- Cork backing resists sliding on the work surface
- 15-inch length spans more than a standard ruler
- Etched markings should not rub off
- Flexes for angled drafting work
- Longer length is less pocket-friendly than a 12-inch ruler
Performance notes
Stainless steel gives the blade enough flex for angled work while holding a straight edge, and the etched 1/16 inch and metric graduations are cut into the metal rather than printed, so they should not wear off with use. The cork layer on the back is what keeps the ruler anchored to paper or fabric during a cut or a drawn line.
