Westcott Circles Template., Jumbo

This is an A4 circle template/stencil made of good quality flexible plastic, with a great range of circle sizes. Easy to use whether just to draw in pencil or with paint. I've used it with both graphite and gouache paints, and it cleans easily. I would not use it with archival ink or any non water-based/distressing ink as it will stain the plastic. I'm happy with the product, but it's really pricey for what it is.

Westcott Office and School Ruler

I'm a bit disappointed with the quality of this ruler. I bought this one because I own a couple of plastic rulers and I needed something steadier and with some grip to draw lines with ink pens and paintings, so this seemed ideal. The steel is good, but also feeble and wobbly, not strong enough. This being the case, the ruler is not steady enough. Also, for whatever reason, the lines don't come up clean. It doesn't help that the cork at the base has some edge, as it doesn't cover the full ruler belly and I think contributes to the wobbliness. It would not use this with paints or ink pens, just to measure or use with pencil.
