Grip- Although this ruler does have some grip, I'm sure it's still possible that it could move depending on how you use it. I haven't had any issues with it shifting on me so far, and even with the added silicone ruler grips and handle on my older ruler, the Omnigrip still stays in place better with no added support.
Markings- I love how many markings are included on this ruler. There are multiple hatch marks all the way down and across the ruler at each 1/8 inch mark, so it's easy to line up the ruler with any measurement, not just 1/2 inch or 1 inch cuts. There are also numbered markings at the top and bottom of the ruler for both 1/2 inch and 1 inch increments that go from right to left and from left to right, making it easy to measure from either side of the ruler and useful for both right handed or left handed individuals.
Overall, I really love this ruler so far, and I'm so glad I bought it. I had been hesitant because I wasn't sure I really *needed* another ruler and wondered if it would really make enough difference to be worth it. And at least for me, it's definitely worth it! If I purchase any more rulers in the future, they'll definitely be Omnigrip.
