These levels should not disappoint anyone for quality or accuracy. They are well made and machined and dead-on accurate compared to a digital level. The levels in the set are compact in size (1 inch thick by 2 inches wide) and may fit into an area that a full-sized level may not. What I especially noticed were the over-sized vials that are easy to see and read; also easy to clean. My only knock is their higher price than other comparable professional grade levels.

What a nice set of levels, Great for anything from laying beams to hanging a door. They are solid, very nicely made, very cleanly machined straight edges, They have rare earth magnets in them which were developed in the 1970s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than most any other type of magnet, so you won’t have to worry about them falling off wherever you stick them. Milwaukee famous for their right angle drills that they invented in 1949 has been around a long time and produces a quality product,,,well worth the investment as these levels will last you a lifetime,,,,,,

I really like this Milwaukee Redstick two pack (36” and 72”) level set. I use the 36” level for when I am building cabinets and furniture as well as balancing appliances like a stove or washer. The larger level set is an excellent choice for leveling a door or checking the level of a long table. These levels include large and easy-to-read bubbles. The bubble tubes are about twice the size of my other levels and I find it very easy to read them from a distance. The level is built from a very sturdy aluminum frame with durable non-slip end caps. The end caps can be removed, if necessary, so that the end of the level can be placed flush with a second surface. The hand grips make the level easy to hold, especially the longer 72” length model. I have found both levels to be very accurate and I have been very pleased to use them in large and small projects. In my opinion, the quality of these levels are profession grade.

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.

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

The levels are fantastic! High quality, light, strong, durable. Easy to read. The magnetic component is sweet and useful. I had to order them though and they were 2 weeks later than their projected arrival. Also didn’t care for the customer service when I picked them up. Employees were rude and unfriendly. I was clearly a hassle to them for picking up the order.

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

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

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!

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.

This is a great set of levels for both the professional and homeowner. For me personally, owning a 24″ and a 48″ is mandatory. Both have great uses for all types of projects. The levels have nice rubber bumpers on both ends which is great for using on furniture and nicer products that could possibly scratch when throwing a level on them. The levels also have magnetic spots for use with magnetic objects. The sight bubble is very easy to read & overall these are great levels. The edges are perfect for running a pencil across for straight lines. Very solid and quality construction on these levels!!

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.

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

I was so excited when these levels finally showed up. They took a little longer than I had hoped to get here so the anticipation was even greater. They do not disappoint. They are beautiful…true works of art. The images that I posted don’t do them justice. They are genuine high quality in construction, accuracy, and finish. They have top of the line vials that are very easy to read and very accurate (I have several tools to check for accuracy and they passed every test. For comparison, I was in a hardware store the other day and, just by using the levels they had on the shelf, I did a simple accuracy test…I was saddened by how far off they were).This set came in a package of two, a 24″ and a 48″ box beam level. The frames have a backbone core to resist warping and they are painted a bright “Milwaukee Red”. They look and feel like they are powder coated, but after a very small bit of research online I cannot confirm it. On the top and bottom they have a swirl pattern etched in the aluminum that is not only beautiful (they have a luminescent sheen to them), but also functional making them less likely to slide. The vials made of high-impact polymer acrylic to make them extremely resistant to shattering and are enclosed in white frames making them easier to read. They also have removable, slip resistant, high density rubber end caps.I have been looking for a really good set of levels that look good and are dead-on accurate and I am happy to say I have found them in these Milwaukee Redsticks. With the lifetime accuracy guarantee I don’t see how I can go wrong.

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

These levels are a great duo that can handle any kind of project; heavy construction, home repair/remodel, carpentry, metal work, masonry etc. The magnetic strip is very useful, especially when we are working with steel beam construction, rebar etc. The compact design makes it easy to use on framing and other small projects, as well as making it easy to transport around big construction sites. I would recommend this product duo to anyone at any level of expertise. They are well made, high quality, and durable and priced right considering you’re receiving two of them.

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.
