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.

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.

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 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. 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! I put the value at 4 because these levels are not cheap.

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!

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.

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.

We do a lot of metal work on buildings, restoring brick and stone, among other things. This level is awesome. It is large so it works great on the big jobs where the shorter levels just don’t cut it. I don’t mind the price, because the warranty, quality, durability, etc is well worth it. Milwaukee always stands beside their products and their products are worthy of a great review. This level is very easy to see and read. I would recommend the shorter levels for smaller projects as this length is very awkward on a smaller scale. The magnetic helps hold it in place while you make adjustments and can also help pick up scattered screws, bolts, etc. Milwaukee makes their products really durable and sturdy with high quality materials and excellent accuracy.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
