Man these Milwaukee redstick levels are plain and simple high quality, stout levels. Then again I have never used a bad Milwaukee tool. I am a huge fan of levels. Its just that simple tool in the shop or on a job site, in which the use of one can make the finish product a sight to see or a complete disaster. This 48″ box level is perfect for those larger surfaces. Like leveling a floor, or structure. These levels are heavier than your typical levels, which is a good thing. Milwaukee aimed at making a more robust level that could handle the riggers of the job site, handle more weight with out bending or warping, and remain dead on accurate for its lifetime. In fact dead on accuracy with these levels for their life time is part of Milwaukee guarantee. Now these redstick levels will cost you a bit more than the average level you see hanging in your local hardware store or home improvement center, but they are oh so worth it. The magnets are really strong. The level is flat to with in .0005″ on both surfaces, so it can be trusted as a straight edge. I placed the level on the flattest machine surface that I have. Which is is my cast iron table saw top. Took the thinnest feeler gauge that I have which was .004″ and tried to insert it under the table saw at every point and there was not enough room to get the feeler gauge under the saw. This level is dead flat The vile are large and true to Milwaukee claim. They really are much easier to read. I I just really like these levels and they will become the new primary use levels in my wood shop. The others I am currently using in my shop will be downgraded to more messy work like laying tile, cement, and glue ups. Id highly recommend these levels to anyone in the market for a box level. You wont regret spending the extra bucks on this type of quality.

This is an incredibly high quality level, but it comes at a very high price. Milwaukee states that the level is accurate to within 0.0005″ (which equates to 0.029deg). I measured the width of the level at various points with digital calipers and found mine to be accurate to within 0.0010″. The average width was 2.5410″. For any application where a bubble level would be the proper tool, that is certainley more accurate than needed. The weight of the tool was almost two pounds! Mine weighed in at 1 lb 15.7 oz. The bubbles are large and very easy to see. From a quality standpoint its an incredible tool. However, its more than twice the price of the blue one. For a DIYer, its probably not worth the upgrade. For a contractor, the extra durability might be worth the money. Especially since its guaranteed for life.

I am upgrading my box level tools and decided to obtain the new Milwaukee 72 in. Redstick Box Level. The first thing noticeable with this box level is the sturdiness, ergonomic grips and easy-to-read bubble vials. It’s an all metal (aluminum) backbone, so there’s no weak plastic parts. After using the Milwaukee 72 in. Redstick Level for several weeks I am very impressed with it’s quality, accuracy and ease of use. The vials on the Milwaukee 72 in. Redstick Level are amplified 2x and have an acrylic protective surface for easy cleaning. The level is milled to 0.029 degrees accuracy and comes with a lifetime warranty. Highly recommended for contractors or anyone needing a high quality box level.

This thing is dead-level and seems like it will stay that way for a long time. I tested it right out of the box by marking a level line on the wall of my shop, flipped it over to check it the other way, and it was dead on my first line. The bubble is big and easy to read. The ends are a little bit grippy, so the level doesn’t slip and fall to the floor like some levels with slippery plastic or metal ends. And it’s a box level, so it should stay true for a long time.

Very well made level, it is comparable to Johnson and Fatmax. the 24 inch size is great for home owners and contractors alike, depending on your job it is a great all around size. I found the machined surface to be well manufactured and true. I was a machinist in a prior life and know that is important. I like the non magnetic version as it is suitable for most jobs and doesn’t pick up any metal along the way while being stored. Milwaukee has made a nice product.

Very well made level, good all around size it is comparable to Johnson and Fatmax. the 36 inch size is better suited for longer runs, door installation, etc, I found the machined surface to be well manufactured and true. I was a machinist in a prior life and know that is important. I like the non magnetic version as it is suitable for most jobs and doesn’t pick up any metal along the way while being stored. Milwaukee has made a nice product.

These Milwaukee RedStick levels are contractor grade, designed and built to withstand demanding, daily job site usage. I make my living with my tools, and while I’m good to them, accidents do happen. I watched a video where a gentleman threw one of these RedSticks as high as he could into the air, letting it continually smash down onto pavement, and only after doing this many repeated times did it tweek the frame ever so slightly. There’s no way, in normal use, that one of these is ever going to see that sort of abuse. I am confident that these extremely stout RedSticks are lifetime tools – as is Milwaukee, backing them by both their limited lifetime warranty, as well as a lifetime accuracy guarantee.

I use the box level on my flooring. The length of the level is very helpful for leveling the floors for finishing. The vials in the level are large and can be read from a distance, especially when you are moving around. The rubber ends are removable. The 8 feet long level can be little too long to handle, especially low ceiling and smaller areas; however, the length of the level is really paying off for me when finishing the floor.

The level itself is well built and very sturdy. Vials are easy to read and not obstructed. Unfortunately, horizontal vial was totally out of level. I could easily check that by flipping the level at 180 degree on a flat surface and also by comparing with other good levels that I have.

Amazing level from Milwaukee. The 48″ length allows me to set up concrete forms, decking framing and other small project uses.The level provides accurate leveling to true your columns, framed walls, and other supporting members. The 4-foot level provides an accurate reading with easy to see bubbles.This level can easily go from the professional project to the small job for a weekender. 4-foot is a great universal length.

You can certainly find lower priced levels but you will not find a level that impresses you more than Milwaukee’s Redstick levels. They come in a wide variety of lengths both magnetic and non-magnetic. All are high quality materials with exceptional machining and finishes. Like most other levels they have removable end caps but their vials are much larger and very easy to read. Milwaukee guarantees lifetime accuracy to .029-degree.

This level is great. Comes in handy for so many different uses and I doubt I have found them all yet. It is very stiff yet not too heavy. The bubble levels are accurate and easy to read. There is really not much to this thing other than being made from solid materials the way it should be. I love the trademark red Milwaukee finish. I find myself using it more and more as I get used to having this great tool!

This is my third Redstick purchase in addition to my 48″ and 7″ torpedo. This is well made, magnetic, cushioned edges, and works as designed. I am using it to replace my stairs with solid oak and it has helped tremendously to help level them since the home build was not done correctly. It is another quality item from Milwaukee and I could not be happier!
