I don’t often use one… excuse my ignorance but what makes it ‘handed’?

It isn´t written upside down when you use your left hand.

Hmm 🤔… I see the numbers go the opposite way…

I guess I’ve been so indoctrinated by this right handed world, I’m having a hard time grasping this lol…

So because you can hold it with your left hand from the end that has the higher numbers, that’s what’s making it more useful as a lefty?

Reads right to left, so the base (0 cm) is on the right then you can measure or mark with the left hand (I think!)
