Oh I'm sure I'll get one. lol. I'm a sucker for gadgets and if everyone else has it, I want it too. I just hate the thought of having to use two different big pieces of plastic for every cut. And I often need to use two rulers side by side for the bigger cuts so then what. Place one, place the 2nd one next to it, and then place the slidelock next to that, trying to hold it all steady? have you tried it using multiple rulers for wider cuts?

I have one of those. I bought it from Amazon back when they had the Amazon Mom Prime promo and you had to buy xx amount of baby items every month to keep the free prime. This was a baby item, strangely enough. It came in handy when my daughter broke her arm and needed something to steady herself in the shower (she was super nervous about even moving) and when I hurt my back and needed support in the shower. In fact...it's still in the shower and I'm using my hand again on my rulers.
