This is hands down one of the best box levels Ive used. Its very rugged and designed with the user in mind. The sight glass is excellent to see and easy to read. The magnets are very strong and the levels are perfectly straight. Both of them are easy to use and keep clean with a nice red finish. I would have love if these levels came with a carrying case/sleeve to protect it. Overall I can pretty much say these two levels are the last levels ill need to buy as they quality is excellent !

Let me start by saying this is the most accurate level I have ever owned and used! I tested this level against my every day level, which was a good level and the difference is incredible! The accuracy is far superior! The magnified vials are extremely easy to see. The level is strong but not super heavy. The hand grips are great for someone like me who easily drops many things. You can easily remove the ends for those tight spaces. The incredible feature is lifetime accuracy and lifetime warranty! Basically this is the last level you will have to purchase. Excellent for installing door jambs!

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.

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.

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.

Got the item on sale, so it was an excellent value. It was packaged so that it wouldn’t be damaged during shipping. The item itself is high quality, durable and accurate.

Awesome levels. Not bad for the price. Strong magnets. Better than any in store stock levels. Worth the few days to order. Home Depot would sell tons more Milwaukee tools if they stocked even more of them, at least the common tools.

I’m so glad this came in a set. There are often many times where you get a level and the larger one won’t work with smaller art work, and then the smaller one won’t work when trying to go from art work to art work, to ensure everything is level! Also, there are a lot of ways to hang this up in your garage if you have a hang system. Highly recommed this box level set!

I really like the bubble view. Its very clear and large. If i had to say something against it, it would be the paint wants to come off on finished surfaces. Also i should have got one with hamdles

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 .

Excellent quality. Very heavy duty, I am sure it will last many years.

These levels are top quality. I went around my house checking my door jambs that I installed, for square and level. I used these levels for a straight edge for cutting some plywood, they are sturdy and don’t bend. The two sizes are great for more than just door jambs. The level sight glasses are larger than normal so it’s easier to see that the project is level.

The Redstick levels have true readings, flip it, spin it, the bubble stay the same. Installed six doors saved time, perfect job !

Finally a level has been made with magnets in it. The magnetics are surprisingly super strong. When holding up to studs or other metal objects the level instantly grabs on. I was working in a tight area during my new third bathroom and the extra “hand” came in handy. Without barely moving the level I could make small adjustments to the studs, the bubble is very to read. Great set!

This is a very well constructed level, I compared it to my fatmax and johnson levels and the quality is almost identical. I don’t have much occasion ot use the magnetic feature but did have a chance to do so when replacing a basement door that had a metal casement. the surface is nicely machined and flat and I had no issue operaintg hands free. Milwaukee has made a competitive product that should give those loyal ot the brand a great alternative for their toolbox

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.

The Milwaukee 24 in./48 in. redstick magnetic box level set is a great deal. I own a lot of levels, but these milwaukee levels are now my favorites. The high contrast,magnified vial system is so easy to see.They feel so solid and easy to use. I like the removable end caps and they keep the level from sliding when I lean it up against a wall. Being magnetic is a plus when I use metal studs.It also is as accurate as any level I have. Love it.
