This is easily the highest quality level that I have ever used. Milwaukee states that the level is accurate to within 0.0005″ (which equates to 0.029deg over the length). 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 bubbles are large and very easy to see. The magnets are very strong and easily support the weight of the level.From a quality standpoint its an incredible tool. However, its more than twice the price of the blue one. For a DIYer on a budget, it might not be worth the extra cost. For a contractor, the extra durability might be worth the money. Especially since its guaranteed for life.

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!

This level is high quality, easily readable, and appears it can take a beating. As far as traditional levels go, this is them perfected. At this price range, digital levels that do some very useful calculations are available though durability does take a hit. Under a controlled environment where it won’t get much abuse, digital levels provide very useful feedback like how many millimeters per meter the box level is angled. Obviously that is overkill for a lot of a jobs and I’d never toss one in a pile of rocks so traditional levels do still have their place.

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!

As a plumber I always need accurate and heavy duty tools. This 2′ magnetic level was perfect for my needs. I used it most recently on a double laundry tub installation. The heavy weight and substantial “feel” of the level helped it stay in place while I adjusted the legs underneath the tub. I didn’t need the magnetic function for this job but it tested it on some nearby ductwork and it held quite well. The vials are nice and large so they’re easy to read even with the lousy lighting I was working with. I’ve been very pleased with all of my Milwaukee levels so far and count them as my favorites.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The Milwaukee 48 in. REDSTICK Magnetic Box Level is another quality tool from Milwaukee Tools. It has a magnetic strip on one side so you can attach it to steel surfaces, to verify that they are plumb. The vials are very easy to read and the molded handles make it easy to carry and hang up. The reinforced aluminum body helps to ensure it will remain true year after year. Milwaukee Tools has done it, again!

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!

Love it. The bubble is massive.
Nathan Hills (verified owner) –
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
