    An inch should be the same from one ruler to the next.
    A pound should be a pound on any scale...right?
    Yes.

    I use all Omnigrid rulers with Invisigrip on the back of them.

    Creative grids. I like the non-slip dots and fine line markings. I find that the lines are too blurry on omnigrid rulers for me. Calibration between different rulers can be important. I have found that if I want really precise measurments I purchase more expensive rulers. This is one of those things that it pays to buy well. My favorite rulers are my metal ones I use in the lab but those are metric.

    I have switched all mine out for Creative Grid. I like the thin lines and easy to read. They have built in grips. They come in all different sizes.

    I like Creative Grid also, especially the 8 1/2 x 24 1/2. Seems like all my squares are 6 1/2 or 12 1/2. It's hard to measure those with a 6 x 12!
