This is a very nice heavy duty brand name box level. Easy to see that things are level when you look at it plus its magnetic to. I broke mine and had to get another one and since this was a good brand name and the picture showed it well I picked this one glad I did. This is a great level and I like it very much not cheap like some I have bought before.

The Redstick Line of levels offered by Milwaukee is definitely, the top of the line. From the metal inner core to the aluminum milled outer, this thing is built tough. The rubberized end caps are removable, if it matters. The rare earth magnets are incredibly strong, in fact I store it attached to one of my metal cabinets and can open and close the door and it doesn’t move. For these old eyes the high contrast vials,of which there are two, make reading easy. The accuracy is some of the best in the industry. It has a hang hole. Once again Milwaukee has designed a tool that will a last me.

I placed this on the ground and was shocked to find the earth was flat. Like all milwaukee tools this exceded my expectations. Its enlarged bubble makes for easy reading.

Make no mistake – this is a FANTASTIC level. It’s highly accurate, rugged, comfortable to use, easy to read, and beautiful to look at. Like other Milwaukee tools I’m sure it will stand up to incredible abuse if needed – and it carries the lifetime accuracy warranty. The rare-earth magnets on one side are strong enough to hold the level in any position on a metal surface, even upside down. The edges are square and crisp, so there is no problem drawing pencil lines across the face to mark level or plumb. From my perspective there is nothing to improve and nothing to dislike, except possibly the price. There are other highly-rated levels on the market with the same stated accuracy, selling for ¼ the price, so it’s hard to justify paying this much for even a Milwaukee level unless you work under extreme conditions. Still, if you have the money and need the rugged reliability of a Milwaukee tool this level can’t be beat.

Very accurate, lightweight, magnets hold well. Very nice level

This level is great for any size product. It reads very accurately and is a great size and weight, making it easy to haul up and down the ladder. It can take abuse on a job site without really getting damaged, so it’s very durable and high quality. I dropped many times from the top of the ladder, and it’s still perfectly accurate with barely a scratch. I can’t praise these levels enough. Milwaukee definitely takes pride in their products.

Best 2ft level I’ve ever used. Great maganet and great bubble. Heavier than expected, but strong

Works great for my line of work

This is a high quality, very strong 8 ft level. It resists twisting and flexing in the middle exceptionally well considering its 8 foot span. When placed on the same surface next to my trusty DeWalt 4 foot level, it is spot on (I realize this is far from scientific, but gives me piece of mind since I believe the 4ft level I’ve been using for years to be very accurate).My first project with this level will be installing fence panels along my property line. It will be very easy to use a level that can span the entire distance of a panel to make sure everything is level and plumb. Milwaukee hit another one out of the park with this level!

I understand why this is called “redstick” as it is just what feels like a solid indestructible bar. This level has certainly got some heft to it, but not so much that the magnets don’t have an easy time adhering to objects. In my attached photo it is clinging to the side of my laundry dryer without breaking a sweat. The only downside is the fact that when I did that I realized how the stand we built was not perfectly level.

I just love these Milwaukee Redstick levels! They are built tough, accurate, and are very easy to read. The handy thing about the 16″ level is that it fits right in your toolbox, but is also bigger than a torpedo level, and so is quite handy on the job site. The box level style is a little more bulky than a standard level, but the solid metal frame and rubber bumpers on the ends serve well to protect it. As anyone knows that has done any kind of project, levels will fall sooner or later, and only the good ones stay true. The magnets are quite strong, in fact I have bumped it while it was stuck to a metal surface and it moved, but it snapped right back and did not fall! It even has a handy hole for hanging it up in your shop. Of course the most important thing about any level, I found it to be true and accurate. This is a professional quality level at an affordable price.

Excellent level from Milwaukee. This 59″ magnetic “REDSTICK” level is very robust and feels very strong. It has a great weight to it, so I am confident that it will last during my various projects. The 59″ length is perfect for those bigger projects such as cabinets, tables, doors, decks, etc. The fact that it is magnetic is a surprisngly useful feature, not only for projects involving metal, but for storage! I currently have my Redstick levels stuck on the side of my large metal tool cabinet, that way I’m not wasting any space!The bubbles are very easy to read from dim to very bright light. The handles are easy to grip and the sides that are flat against your surfaces have a texture to it to provide a nice grip and prevent slipping. Additionally, the top black end caps can be removed if you need to fit it into an even tighter space. Pretty neat and I highly recommend!

Great long level. It is an actual 8′ level. I have a hard time standing it straight up inside in some locations. This is a great layout tool. I have used this for cabinet installation, as well as floor leveling. Compared to my machinist level, it is exceptionally accurate. It is not spot on to 0.001 degrees, but that is completely unnecessary for 99% of all applications. It is more than adequate for anything most tradesmen would do.The dial is very large, and this is a great feature. Makes it easier to read and adjust as you struggle to support the whole level hanging 8′ out from you. The edge is flycut to about a 63 microinch finish, as shown in picture. While I do not own a surface finish profilometer, my comparison gage shows it at about 63. Feels about right as well. Given the overall goals of these Milwaukee levels, I would have liked to see a finer finish, at least a 32 microinch finish.All things considered, it is a well made level that is ready to go out of the box. Great for large layouts, and when a laser isnt appropriate. Great to have around, but remember, it is a true 8′ level. It can be difficult to transport!

This massive level is absolutely wonderful. I used it for a couple projects. It is versatile and well made. I was able to cut insulation and use it as a guide down the roll. This gave me very accurate cuts. The level also has a heavy weight so it doesn’t move as you use it to cut with your knife. The magnets on each side are also very strong. Overall, this is an amazing tool!

Very well made level, it is comparable to Johnson and Fatmax. The 48 inch size is great for bigger jobs and probably more for the contractor, but the avid DIYer will find a lot of reasons to use this length. I recently put this to work installing a long run of fence and it did a great job keeping things level. I found the machined surface to be well manufactured and true. like the non magnetic version for my use but if you are installing metal doors etc, you may prefer the magnetic version Milwaukee has made a nice product.

My new 36″ box level is the best quality I have ever owned. The level has magnets built in to hold it up to steel surfaces without having to hold it. The level has three easy to read vials, with the top one being able to be viewed from three sides. There’s a hole to store the level when not in use (hanging it up). The finish is a beautiful red crinkle coat. There’s also rubber ends to protect it in case it falls.The material it’s made of is aluminum. It’s twist resistant and it shows no sign of flexing.The quality and durability are exceptional. This is a lifetime level! I highly recommend it.

Removable end cap design is solid. Did not feel the quality with the associated cost. There are other levels that will be just as accurate and efficient for half the cost.

Love it. The bubble is massive.
