Default True cut rulers

I am need of a new ruler. I have been using a omnigrid ruler. The markings are fading off from wear. Has anyone tried the true cut ruler brand? Thank you in advance for your opinions.

I don't have one but prefer rulers with the degree markings. I like to be able to see through my rulers.

I still prefer either Creative Grids or Omnigrid rulers for the main rulers I use. Bought one of the True Cut's but don't like it.

Have your marks faded on your omnigrid rulers?

Do you like the creative grid rulers better than the olfa rulers?

The Omingrip rulers have the green gripper on the back and it does wear off eventually. I have already replaced my 8.5" square. The Omnigrid rulers have the yellow/black lines which I have had since they originally came out and they have no wear on them.

I hate my true cut ruler. It's not all the way clear so it's hard to see through it. There are a lot of cutouts which also make it hard to read the measurements. Mine is the 6 x 24 one.

My 8.5" was one of these green ones. I absolutely cannot see through them. I finally pitched it in the garbage.
