jjrbus Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have 6 rulers that are never where I need them, they like to get together and hide in one place and chat. But it is never where I need them or can find them. It is of little consequence that I cannot find a ruler, I cannot mark anything because of 50 pencils I have I cannot find one or if I do find one the point is broken or dull. The amount of time I spend looking for rulers and pencils is mind boggling! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snail powered Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I like steel rulers because I can cut against the edge with a knife. That also means I can secure them for easy storage on a surface by sticking or adhering a magnet to that surface. You can do the same thing inside the lid of a toolbox. The big trick is making it convenient and easy to put them away. Finding pencils...I buy them in the large sized packages at the office supply stores. Then I sharpen all of them and put them in various handy locations here and there. That way I don't have to hunt for very long to find one. I do have a "pencil cup", a 3M Command small Clear Caddy, mounted to the wall just inside the door of my Sunrader since I often need pens and pencils. But I have a backup quantity of them in a ziplock bag in my supplies drawer as well. I love the 3M clear caddies, lots of sizes, easy to hang and easy to remove.

I think they're hanging out and partying in the 7th dimension somewhere with my stray flashlights, individual socks, sunglasses, and Elvis..........the only rulers I can't lose very well are the 4' ones, and even those, I give it a good try. if I lived nearer to Roswell, at least I could blame it on the aliens.......
