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.

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.

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.

After purchasing Empire Level a few years ago, it looks like Milwaukee has finally leveraged their experience. This is a very high quality, professional-grade level that rivals others in the top industry positions. Milwaukee even calls out “Stronger than Stabila” on the product packaging.I got the 48″ magnetic version, and it’s build quality was evident as soon as I picked it up. The milled aluminum construction is sturdy and perfectly flat. The vials are large, easy to read, and the center one is viewable from almost any angle thanks to the center cutout. There’s even a lifetime guarantee on the vials for accuracy to 0.029°.To strengthen the box beam at the center, Milwaukee has included an all-magnesium “backbone”. This feature is in all of their new RedStick levels, while the competition doesn’t add reinforcement to their levels unless they’re at least 59″ long.The magnets are super strong too, spaced roughly every 12″ along the bottom.One of the only design complaints I had was the removable end caps could uses a little more rubber on them. There’s a plastic tab that the rubber only extends about 1/32″ past, and when dropped it doesn’t seem like it absorbs enough of the impact before the more rigid plastic absorbs the rest. I also didn’t like that all the edges were chamfered, which makes it harder to use the level as a straight edge for marking lines.Overall, these are a great quality level. They’re definitely priced beyond what a homeowner needs, but for now they also seem to be priced a little beyond their professional grade competition. I guess after Milwaukee has a while to get a feel for the market demand we’ll see if it’s warranted or not, but for now I think they’re priced a little steep even for the pro users out there.

Works great for my line of work

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.

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!

Great quality tool!

This level is really beefy. What I really like are the large “bubbles” that make viewing extremely easy. The magnets really hold well and I plan to use this to level all my appliances – for starters. The versatility the magnets add really appeals to me. I was surprised, however, that there are no measurement markings like on every other level I’ve seen; to me this detracts from the value of the level, after all this is NOT cheap. Also, I requested this level on 11/9/2016 and finally received it 3/7/2017! Good thing I didn’t need this for a Christmas gift or anything else while I was giving up on ever receiving it.

The reviews are correct – strong, built and V E R Y easy to read. I am a steel stud framer and would very much recommend any one working with metal to get this or any Red stick. 59″ might be a odd dia. none the less a 4′ too small for 10′ plus walls a 6′ too long. Perfect for what I do and what I think a number of others will needed in the framing trades.

Great and sturdy

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!

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

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.

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 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.
Bryon Lindgren (verified owner) –
This is a 4 foot long box level that has magnets built in. The magnets are used for holding the level up to steel surfaces. There are three easy to read vials and two cut outs to use as handles. The cut outs have a protective material to keep you from cutting your hand. The level is made of aluminum and has black rubber ends to protect the level in case of a fall.The level is painted red and has a durable crinkle finish – like on a Ferrari valve cover!The level is straight as an arrow! It’s very strong and I didn’t see any flex when supporting it on only one end. This is a lifetime tool – the best made level I have owned.I give it five stars. This is the best of the best.

I am upgrading my box level tools and decided to obtain the new Milwaukee 59 in. Redstick Magnetic Box Level. The first thing noticeable with this box level is the 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 59 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 59 in. Magnetic 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.
