Bought this the other day to help hold my ruler steady and hopefully prevent cutting accidents (had one small one). So far I like it but the jury is still out. At least I can use it near my bathtub to help me get in and out after my next knee replacement... Anyone else use these?

My SIL uses one and loves it. I found it too awkward.

I use one on one of my big rulers. I don't like that it takes up so much room this way though.

It will take some getting used to.

Yes, I have used one and it really did help me keep the ruler so it wouldn't move. One draw back is that when I took it off, it took the lines off of the ruler with it. So be aware that might happen.

Be careful using it to help you get out of bathtub. I had one and although it was "suctioned" good, it came off when I was getting out of the tub...luckily I caught myself!!

So Be Careful!!!

I had one, but never got comfortable using it. The suction on one of the cups got so it would not hold. Don't plan on replacing on Super Grip, even found one for less than $6.00
