Overview

The Westcott 40711 Clear Magnifying Ruler is a 15-inch tool that combines precise measurement with built-in optical magnification in a single, transparent design. One edge is graduated in 1/16-inch increments while the opposite edge features centimeter markings, making it equally useful for imperial and metric work. The center strip of the ruler functions as a magnifying lens that enlarges one line of text at a time when laid flat on a page, turning the ruler into a reading aid for fine print, dense data tables, charts, and reference materials.

The magnified portion carries its own scale markings—1/16-inch on one side and tenths on the other—so you can take precise measurements even through the magnified section. The fully transparent body lets you see the document underneath for accurate positioning, whether you are drawing straight lines on a layout, checking dimensions on a blueprint, or following rows across a spreadsheet. This combination of measurement and magnification makes the Westcott 40711 a useful everyday tool for students, drafters, and office professionals who regularly work with small text and precise figures.
