Tim Holtz Edge to Edge 12" Media Ruler

This ruler with its mini acrylic or rubber stops stays in place; another great product by Tim Holtz

This is a spectacular ruler for people that are into paper crafts. The silicone strips grip the surface of whatever you are measuring. The measurement indicator marks are easy to read. It is light-weight yet not flimsy feeling. Wonderful rule!

I am a sucker for anything Tim Holtz, and I have a thing for rulers. So of course I had to get this one.Likes:centimeters. And I know this is kind of a stupid one, but I almost 99.9% of the time grab my other Tim Holtz ruler - which is only inches. Every now and then I come across that one tutorial that uses them so I think it will come in handy. Enough to take up the whole side of the ruler? I don’t know yet. Lol.The grip! Obviously the selling point of this ruler. It stays put! And I kind of like that it goes through the entire ruler, meaning it has grippy dots on the top of the ruler. If I needed to lay something on the ruler, it would stay.Nice size and weight. As always, great quality!Dislike:the numbers are low. I understand why they did it, but I don’t like it. They are too far away from the edge for me. Not a dealbreaker, but more of a sigh.the graph lines are not as dark as the original ruler. I love love love the original ruler. I use it probably every day, multiple times per day. This one has the same awesome grid, but it’s not as visible. If you’re using white paper, of course it will be better. Only the half inch lines are truly visible. On the previous ones, you saw dark lines every 1/8th inch.The gap left due to the grips. I like my rulers to be flat against my surface so if I need to line something up, I don’t have to worry about it going down the back. This remind me of the Wendy Vecchi make art clear magnetic rulers, except the magnet was replaced with the grip. I’m almost curious why they didn’t add a few magnets to this being as they already had the gap.The price was a bit steep. $16. Now, If there was a magnet on it, I could probably justify it in my head. Lol.Last one. The hole is smaller than the originals - and of course it does not fit on my hook. Lol.Overall, even with my complaints, I still give it 5 stars! And by no means do I want them to make another one! My ruler “collection” is way too big already.

I love this ruler for making junk journals and ephemera to go with them. I especially love that I can use the evenly spaced holes to make holes with my awl for stitching my signatures into the covers.Great addition to my craft tools.

The transparency, grips and punch hole guides make this ruler especially useful.
