Overview
A three pack of 12 inch clear acrylic rulers from Westcott (model 00973), with beveled edges and scales in both sixteenths of an inch and metric. Built for classroom and office use where seeing through the ruler to the page underneath matters, and each includes a storage hang hole.
The clear acrylic body is the actual point of this ruler: it lets you see the text or drawing underneath while measuring or drawing a line over it, which an opaque ruler does not. Raised beveled edges keep ink from bleeding under the ruler, a detail that matters more to anyone inking a straight line than to someone just measuring length. Westcott is a known school-supply name, and this set is sized for that market.
- 12 inch acrylic ruler, 3 pack
- Sixteenths of an inch plus metric scale
- Raised beveled edge reduces smudging
- Storage hang hole on each ruler
Who it's for
Students, teachers and classroom or office settings that need several identical rulers on hand, plus anyone who wants to see the drawing surface through the ruler while inking a line. Not the choice for shop or job site measuring, where acrylic offers no advantage over metal.
Pros and cons
- Transparent body for seeing the page underneath
- Raised bevel reduces ink smudging
- Sixteenths and metric scales on one ruler
- Three identical rulers, useful for classrooms
- Acrylic is more brittle than metal for shop use
- 12 inch only, no shorter size in this set
- Not built for heavy duty marking on site
Performance notes
The raised beveled edge lifts the ruler's body slightly off the page, keeping a marker or pen from smudging against the flat underside as you draw a line. Markings run in sixteenths of an inch on one edge and metric on the other, with extra end margin so the scale does not sit flush at the tip, avoiding a worn-off zero point. Scratch resistant acrylic holds up to repeated classroom use better than uncoated plastic.
