Supposed to be non skid. I have been having a lot of trouble with my eyes due to thyroid issues and some days I can barely see the ruler markings and I thought these may help me get more accurate cuts.
After reading all the posts about this, I was thinking that they would be perfect to use with the Slidelock ruler. All you would have to do with make your first cut to straighten edge, then lay down a stick and hold the Slidelock ruler on the left side of it and hold down and cut. The Slidelock also keeps your hands up high out of the way of the blade so no chance of slicing a finger.
