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.

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.

There great but I ordered the magnetic set and received the non magnetic ones. I need them for work so I didn’t bother going through the hassle of ordering new ones and returning the old ones

Great level. Magnet is strong and the finish is nice. This combo pack is pretty convenient to cover a range of uses. Great for metal fabricating but it can also be used for wood working and the like. When not in used I am able to hang these levels from my garage door rail which is a super convenient use of space – I fully trust the strength of the magnets to keep them up there safely.

These are some amazing levels. Everything about them is fantastic, except the 60 seconds you will spend at the cash register, but you do get what you pay for. The bubbles are bright and super easy to read. When I compared them side by side to my old levels the difference was even more noticeable. The edges have ridges/grooves to keep the level from sliding, it just feels alot better when you are using the level. The end caps have shock protection in case you drop it. I didn’t have the heart to drop mine on purpose but I have seen people abuse these things. You can also pull the end caps off in case you need an inch or two extra to fit in a tight space. The 48 inch has nice big hand grips so if you are wearing gloves you should still be able to fit your hand inside to hold it. The 24 does not have hand hold cut outs, I am guessing because of the re-enforced interior. My levels came with the built in magnets. Very nice, they hold quite securely. Besides the price, my only beef is that the hole at one end to hang the level is just barely big enough to go over a nail. My old level has a nice big hole that is super easy to slap over a nail. The level makes you actually have to aim a little bit. This is a minor issue, of course.

Excellent level from Milwaukee. These 78″ and 32″ magnetic “REDSTICK” levels are 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 two different lengths are perfect for those bigger projects such as cabinets, tables, doors, decks, etc., and smaller projects alike! The fact that it is magnetic is a surprisingly 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!

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.

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.

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.

I really love the oversized vials. My eyesight is not as great as it once was. Much easier to see the bubble in low light. The beveled white frame around the vials helps illuminate the bubbles. Very accurate and sturdy. Constructed of a single piece of aluminumMilled edges give a bit of extra gripEnd caps slide off to reduce the lengthLarge nail holes in both levels for hangingEasy to handle with one hand in the vertical or horizontal positionFit and finish is very good. Should last a very long time.
