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.

With their acquisition of Empire Level, a company that has almost 100 years of experience with manufacturing high-quality levels, Milwaukee has really dove into the market. These new contractor-grade RedStick levels are built to the extreme, designed to compete directly with the Stabila levels that are very popular with carpenters and builders.These levels are built to the extreme, made to handle daily professional use, and the sometimes accidental abuse that happens on the job site. They are claimed to be “stronger than Stabila” with their all-metal inner-structural backbone and 10x more durable vials. The vials themselves are made in the USA. The levels have an accuracy tolerance of 0.029 degrees, or 0.0005 inches per inch, which is pretty much the industry standard in the high-end level market. The level carries a lifetime accuracy guarantee, as well as an overall limited lifetime warranty.I’ve been using it on sites over the last couple of weeks, and every tradesmen that I’ve showed it to has been impressed. The level is obviously very stout, the machining and overall fit and finish are excellent. The rare earth magnets hold the level firmly. The vials are very easy to read, and appear to be very durable.

This is a super level. It had some very strong magnets that hold it in place exceptionally well. I have a couple of other “high dollar” brand name levels and I have compared the three against each other. All within fractions of a thousandth of each other. I expect this level to hold up well and last a lifetime with a nice padded hard case that I have bought to keep it in.

Ok, I did not understand what my older brother, an architect and former builder, was telling me when he said to get a magnetic level for my deck and DIY projects. I have this now and love it! It is rock solid among the best that I have ever seen compared to what you find in the store shelves. This has already been accidentally dropped and not a scratch or break in the level bubble. It is more than accurate to hang large mirrors as well as wood work. I liked it so much I ordered more of my new brand Milwaukee levels in 30″ and torpedo. I highly recommend this to everyone from DIY to professional builder. Love it and look forward to many more uses over my lifetime with it!

I use box levels regularly and the 48 inch one is probably used the most. After doing some research, I decided to obtain the new Milwaukee 48 in. Redstick Magnetic Box Level. The first thing noticeable with this box level is the good balance, ergonomic hand grips, and easy-to-read bubble vials. It’s an all metal (aluminum) backbone, so there’s no weak plastic parts. It also has strong magnets that hold the level firmly on a metal surface without support. After using the Milwaukee 48 in. Magnetic Redstick Level for several weeks I am very impressed with it’s quality, accuracy and ease of use.The vials on the Milwaukee 48 in. Magnetic Redstick Level are amplified 2x for increased visibility and have acrylic protective surfaces 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.

I love this Milwaukee level. They operate as advertised and are a solid great quality tool. The level itself is very strong and clean. The bubble is very clear and easy to read. I will not have a use for the magnetic side but I did try it out. I was very surprised how strongly it held on. This level is heavy duty great buy. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The 48in Redstick magnetic box level has a fantastic build quality. It feels very solid and you get the impression it will be very accurate as well. I used it to test numerous areas within my home as it was being built. Everything showed it was consistently level and everything was square. It is easy to read even from a distant, and the magnetic feature comes in handy in window seals with metal framing. It is a great product that I would recommend to anyone looking for a professional level.

Another fantastic Milwaukee product. I recently bought a 4 foot level, which I thought was a pretty good one. I won’t mention the brand other that it”s the blue one. Now don’t get me wrong the blue ones are good levels too. But when I received the Milwaukee level, there’s no comparison. This is heavy duty thick nicely honed edges. The bubbles are big and easy to see. The magnet is strong. Just a great level that will out live me. Highly recommended. This is actually the review I wrote for the 24 inch level they are both fantastic no matter what size.

The vials on these new Milwaukee REDSTICK magnetic box levels are insanely easy to read from any angle. The magnets are very very strong. I have them hanging on the inside roof of my work van and they hold with no issues. They have some weight compared to the blue brand that Home Depot sells, but its not anything extreme. The do feel substantially stronger than any other levels that I have owned or used. Once I did not get the magnet against metal and the level fell from the inside roof of my work van to the inside floor, and the only damage was a bit of the red paint chipped off. A 4 foot fall and that was all that happened, I checked level against my other redstick and my blue brands and the vials were reading the same. See pictures below for view-ability. I will admit, compared to the blue brand, these are very pricey, but I think they are worth it!

The 96″ Milwaukee REDSTICK magnetic box level is awesome for work that demands a high degree of accuracy, when it must be level and plumb. This level has all the right stuff; accuracy, durability, light weight, easy to view vials, rubberized ends and grips. The REDSTICK can be used on electrical work when leveling long runs of conduit, or on sheet metal work when installing new runs for HVAC ductwork, or when installing kitchen cabinets. This level is best for all this work and more…

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 magnetic base 24″ level is the perfect size for all around use. This level is 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.

The milwaukee 59 inch redstick magnetic box level is a top of the line level. It is costly,but well worth the extra money. I have many levels for my work and love quality tools. This level has very strong earth magnets to hold strong. The level has a all-metal back bone that gives it weight and a nice feel. I found the 59 in. length to be helpful over a 48 in. level in some cases. It is a very solid level.

This Redstick level from Milwaukee is a very well made, well-constructed piece. The sturdy tough frame is made of aluminum, with a special milled surface on either side. The heavy plastic end caps protect the surface of anything you’re measuring, but a clever release system lets you remove the caps if you need to get into tight corners– very handy where walls meet.To me, the best features on these Redstick levels are the high-visibility vials themselves– they’re larger than any I’ve seen in other levels, and super easy to read– a real plus when you don’t have your reading glasses, or when your wearing safety goggles.So far, I’ve used this level on indoor mounting projects and a trim project on my three-season porch, all with perfect results. At 24″, the level was easy to handle, yet long enough to ensure accuracy. It also features a strong magnetic edge for working with metal studs/ surfaces. Add in its lifetime guarantee, and I’m sold on the Redstick– it’s taken levels to a whole new, well, level!

Although I’m not a contractor by trade I’ve been doing construction for family, friends and business for over 45 years. In that time I’ve accumulated many levels in assorted sizes. Some, good quality, some, not so good. I’ve also been using Wilwaukee products, almost exclusively, for the past five years due to their exceptional quality so when I saw their new line of REDSTICK Magnetic Box Levels I knew I would be impressed. From experience I know their quality to be Top of the Line but the pricing of these levels definitely gave me sticker shock. Can they really be worth the price they’re asking? These levels incorporate all the high-end features you’d expect. Lifetime guaranteed .0005 in. accuracy, exceptional readability in all three vials, rubber end-caps, over-molded, non-slip grips (48 in. and up), strength of construction with an all-metal backbone and super strong amplified rare earth magnets. Also, all of them have a hanging-hole so they can be stored off the ground. I ordered an assortment of sizes to replace all my other levels. I can truly say that until you hold one of these in you hands you will never be able to appreciate the overall quality of this tool. Due to the high price point these are probably not the levels for the weekend handyman unless you demand the very best in your tools. I’m still not sure I can justify the selling price of these, I’d like to think they’re just testing the market, but bottom line, unless in the future there’s some major revelation in the level industry these are the ones I’ll be buried with. I know, I’m a tool junky. LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTYEvery MILWAUKEE hand tool is warranted to the original purchaser only to be free from defects in material and workmanship.

Having my own construction business, rather than state the specs that are already stated in the advertisement, what better way to test this 59 inch Milwaukee box level than to let my guys test it over a period of two weeks? Their final resulting analysis ranged from very good to excellent. Two of the guys thought it too heavy (and both of them are big strapping men) The other six said it was good to hold and did not find it was too heavy (and not one of these guys weighs over 180 Lbs….go figure) All of them agreed that this box level is so accurate as to put their own levels to shame as none of them have a unique tolerance of 5000th of an inch per inch of the item being tested. Having the three USA made vials made this level super easy to use and be confident and having the 3 times magnification on each vial’s, made for easy reading. As well as being accurate, all agreed that it is very easy and safe to hold on to while in use (yep, even the big muscular guys that say it’s too heavy) It is a very durable level and just as well as these guys are not known to me as anything but a `little careless` at times with using tools. However, after 10 working days, other than a few small scratches and dusty, the box level is as good as new.I am so impressed with this, that I have bought another two to use on the working site. Do I recommend this? Absolutely.

Milwaukee tools stand up to the test of time, and this level is no different. It is strong, durable, high quality, well made, and supremely accurate. We just used it over the weekend when we built the deck to make sure we were level. We could put it on the roofline to check the level and could read it clearly from the ground. It is a very long level so it’s perfect for large jobs. The magnet holds it in place but also helps pick up nails and screws etc when the job is done. Great value for the quality you’re getting here.
