These extremely stout, high-quality contractor-grade Milwaukee RedStick levels are designed to compete at the top end of the market. They feature a level of durability that we contractors require. Job site conditions vary greatly, and no matter how much you try to take care of the tools that help you earn your living, accidents are going to happen. These RedStick levels, with features like their all-metal reinforced backbone, can handle the abuse. Both the machining and the overall fit and finish of these is excellent. Accurate to 0.0005″ per inch – the industry standard for levels of this caliber – mine are absolutely dead on, as they should be. With my aging eyes, the oversized magnified bubble is really appreciated, and the high-contrast vials really help in low light conditions.

Very Impress with the holding power of the magnets on the Milwaukee red stick Levels, The levels kind of heavy but very well made looks like they can withstand some rough punishment, 48″ level Works great on metal studs, and the 24″ on smaller work area’s, The ends of the levels have a heavy duty rubber cap to protect the level if dropped, Yes I would recommend to the homeowner and professional

They’re so pretty I don’t even want to use them for work. I’ll just hang them on my tool room wall lol.

For an aluminum level these are pretty hefty. They do weight more than any other level I have but they are not so heavy that it hinders their use. Unless you are using the 78 inch over head for extended periods.The construction of theses are really nice. The aluminum is straight and true and machined nicely. Even the 78 inch level is dead straight, over the entire length there is only .0015 inches of variation from high to low. I took them in to where I work and laid them on a granite surface plate and then took a feeler gauge to see how much it was out. The 32 inch level was dead flat over the entire length. The vials are a little larger in these levels then most other levels so they are easy to read at most angles and at arms length. The bumpers on the ends of these level is not plastic like most other level they are rubber and provide a nice cushion when bumped into things. The paint finish looks flawless and is a matte texture to aid in grip, but does seems to mark and scratch pretty easy, so I think it is paint not powder coat.I like using the longer level for checking to make sure door jams are plumb and straight, you would be surprised how much a jam can be out when using a 4 foot level. Also work well for finding highs and lows in floors, walls and ceiling.Accuracy of level is .0005 inches per inch which is good enough for any construction level of accuracy. If I did my math right that is equal to 0.028648 degrees. I placed a digital level on the 78 inch level and compared the results. I could not see a movement in the bubble when I lifted one end a 1/32 of an inch, but it did show on the digital level. Even at a 1/16 of an inch it is really difficult to see any movement in the bubble. I am not saying the level is not accurate, it is, it is just difficult to be precise as you can be with a digital level. But for most uses a bubble level is more than sufficient and much quicker to use. A digital is nice if you want to find the angle something is at, without having to do some trig to figure out the angle.

I thought they were the magnetic ones …oops. Great anyway

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.

A bit pricey but well worth the money. Well constructed nice finish. Would love to see a expansion plate level from Milwaukee.

These are hefty, heavy duty, rugged levels. These levels are a few ounces heavier than my older levels, and they have a heavy duty feel and heft to them.Milwaukee touts the toughness and durability of these levels, and their product video says that they can easily survive drops, falls, and job site abuse. If you need levels that can take abuse, these would be a good option. The sticker on these levels says that they are stronger than Stabila, so these appear to be aimed towards construction and contractor work.The two features that differentiate these REDSTICK levels are an additional internal metal reinforcement to make them stronger and more durable, and the extra-large vials. The vials on this level are huge compared to typical vials, and they have an extra thick plastic housing that looks very durable. The vials are bright yellow and are easy to read, and the bright red paint on the levels make them easy to spot.These levels are more expensive than most of the Empire box levels available at Home Depot, but if you need a level that can take abuse, these are a good option. If you only need a level for DIY projects and don’t need an extra rugged level, than these may not offer as much value as a less expensive Empire model.

Very heavy duty and accurate. I would rather have a hard case vs the soft case, also the case is a universal fit. The smaller level falls all the way to the bottom of the soft case and is a bit difficult to get out some times. Overall a great product though.

I like how durable these levels are, and how much reinforcement is in the frame. The picture on the label shows a cutaway view exposing its rigid yet light, backbone. Yes, I’ll admit these may be a little heavier than the average level, but I’ll sacrifice lightweight for sturdiness any day. The vials are very large and easy to read. I guess they put a lot of engineering thought into these, since they are made in the USA as well. They are, of course, accurate (otherwise it would have no purpose). There is a lifetime accuracy guarantee which is .029 degrees at .0005 in/in or .5 mm/M. The “amplified rare earth magnets” are quite strong as well, and hold onto any magnetic surface with no problems. These are currently stored on the side of a toolbox (which saves a little space as well as being out of harms way). If you don’t have anything metal to latch onto, then there are hollow rings for hanging wherever you please. It’s nice that Milwaukee produces these sets in a variety of lengths, so you can choose the appropriate one for your specific purposes.

Still new but is already called the good level on work sites by other co-workers.I got a good deal for this pair &Time will tell how well they hold up under construction conditions .

It’s an ok level but I was expecting more for what I paid.Not bad but expected more.

Best levels out there

I really like the feel and weight of these levels. The red makes them very easy to locate.

Great level! Built like a tank.Wow! I am very impressed with the quality of these levels. Before my purchase, I wasn’t familiar with Milwaukee Redsticks. But now that I’ve seen the quality of these tools, I love them. They are solid, machined aluminum construction. The levels are spot on.
Loren Tremblay (verified owner) –
These levels are absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough. The overall build quality is unbelievable. Milwaukee has hit a homerun with REDSTICK Levels. I have the competitors level and after having some time with this I am a fan of Milwaukee’s level now. The quality they put in is bar none. The vials are magnified and viewable at virtually all angles. These vials totally pop. They are built for the life of the level and are made from high impact polymer acrylic, which will withstand impacts of your tool or being drop. We know it does happen. The week area of the level is the same spot the vial is located. Milwaukee enhanced this issue. They designed their backbone rib casing design giving structural integrity to the overall level strengthening this area. The accuracy is .029 meaning it with in 5 the thousandths of an inch, simply amazing. I love these levels so much I also have a small 9” torpedo level ant the 16″ level. I’m completely sold on these levels. My 1 and only negative comment is the 16″ and 24″ don’t have had grips in them if they did these would be over the top. I should only give it 4 stars because of this but I like it soo much I’ll let it slide and go 5 stars.

When we consider how technology has progressed I think what comes to mind the most is computers, TV’s and phones. That is all fine and good, but what about what has been accomplished in the manufacturing field. Case in point, a level. Think of all the trades that it takes to build a house and how many use a level and why. There is an old saying “Why is that we never seem to have time to do it right the first time , but always seem to have time to do it over”. If we have good quality, accurate and durable tools we can be more confident that it is done correctly the first time and won’t have to worry about doing the job again. The Milwaukee “Redstick” line of levels have to be at the top of the class. The frame seems to be a combination of a metal interior frame and extruded aluminum outer housing which maintains rigidity and durability. You have a 3/4″ wide rubber bumper on each end, weather it is the 78″ or the 32″, which by the way are removable if necessary. The 78″ is actually 76 7/16″ w/o the bumpers and 77 7/8″ with bumpers. A big plus is the magnified bubble contained in each of the three vials. On one side you have rare earth magnets, not a cheap choice, that really grab and hold. You have one or two, depending on length, rubberized hand holds. On one end there is a hang hole. Another feature that might help justify this kind of purchase is a Lifetime Accuracy Guarantee and a Limited Lifetime warranty. I have already used the 78″ to re-Aline/level two bedroom doors and a couple other small projects with the 32 inch. If not abused these levels will out last you.

These levels are going to give competitors a run for the money. This jamb set is very comparable to the 37532 from $ta8ila. Price comparison is about the same but Milwaukee does not include a carry bag (strike one). The levels are true when compared to others on a flat table including a consumer grade jamber from 5tanley/Bo5tich. I have been using a consumer grade jammer set (as mentioned previous) for the last 7 years with not one issue to speak of except it’s a little bit big in the bulk factor. These red box jambers are a decent weight and milled on two sides allowing one to use both sides. The surface is nice, true and accurate when compared using the new empire auto calibration model but even my old trusty consumer brand is still true. The paint finish of the red box is a good textured finish that won’t slip easily, has great fit with vials and includes rubber bumpers so you don scratch a nice finished surface when laid flat on its side. The vials are very clearly visible but I think I like the blue vials more especially when back lit where this is just a level, plain and simple…it’s a bit of a preference thing but these are darn good. The all metal trussed internal backbone adds some weight but also puts some rigidity into the extrusion which you should expect. The overmold grips are the perfect size and help limit slip especially when you overextend.Well, I think I only gave it one strike there and a close second strike could be that this is a non-magnetic version but I already knew that. All levels could benefit having magnets period. That said, these would be excellent for the pro but you might consider the magnetic version for just a tad more. I take extremely good care of all my tools so they last. This jamber in the hands of a coworker or employee should last the abuse on the jobsite especially with the engineered truss backbone. Go for it with redbox.
