Text Box: These bright, cheerful "lefty" rulers are available in post box red, navy blue and sunshine yellow. The zero is on the right hand side. They make it easy to measure and draw lines of the correct length with the left-hand without the left hand obscuring the scale. The right-to-left direction for making measurement marks and ruling lines is much easier for left-handers. An added benefit is that the nib of the pencil is much less likely to snag on the paper!
