I have a 4ft & numerous 2 foot levels, however NON of them are the quality of this set! The vials are HUGE & easy to see & read. AT 72 inches I was finally able to square up a door on an outbuilding that was off just enough to bind the locks. Hanging another prehund door will be child’s play next time. I also like the heft of the levels. They are easy to maneuver & stay put. Also very good to help lay out a foundation on another outbuilding, I was able to span more that 5 joists which helped in building a sturdy hefty foundation & floor. Wish I had gotten these 1st!

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.

Been waiting months for delivery of this boxed set of Milwaukee levels and I must admit the lengthy wait was definitely worth the time. Both of the two new Milwaukee levels have put my very old levels to shame. They are definitely easier to sight and use. Fit and finish are top notch and I now dread having to etch my name on both levels to prevent them from being stolen. These levels are NOT cheaply manufactured both workmanship and milling are a joy to behold. Weight of either the 2 or 4-footer levels are noticeably heavier due to the materials used . The vials housing the bubble fluid appears to be made of very high impact acrylic. Machining of the level body are simply a joy to see and feel. This is not a cheap level by any stretch of your imagination. Given reasonable care they can and will be passed down to the next generation homeowner or contractor. Well done Milwaukee!

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.

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.

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.

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.

These levels are extremely heavy duty, and will hold up to any construction area you can throw at it. The are a bit pricey, but made very well. The vials are large and really easy to see, even if you don’t have the best sight, or maybe in a dimly lit room. I also love the molded metal top and bottom. The feel somewhat like a metal file, but really add some gripping strength when trying to level. Its very nice know that my level will not slide around. The removal end caps are also an extra bonus. I have been in situations where I had to buy a new level while framing lust because the one I was using was an inch to long. The Milwaukee actually lets you remove each end cap to give you an extra 1″ clearance if needed. All in all, these levels are solid, accurate and have a great warranty. I 100% recommend.

I used it , and after I got done hanging a door, it wasn’t level. But I still need more time using it.

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.

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.

This kit came well packaged without any damage. The levels are at lengths that make them perfect for installing doors. I put hook and loop tape at a couple of spots on each level and on the door jamb and was able to hang the doors while leaving the levels in-place and adjusting as necessary. Once the doors were installed the tape removed easily from the jambs and I left the softer loop sides on the levels. These are well constructed and the leveling tubes are easy to read.

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.

This Milwaukee Redstick two-pack (24” and 48”) level is a great combination set and is a significant step-up from my other levels. I reach for the 24” level for many of my everyday needs, such as when I want to check the level of a picture, appliance or other small item. I usually use the 48” level when I want to check the level of a cabinet project or window. The levels are very sturdy, heavy duty and have the quality of a professional grade level. The aluminum frame has two milled faces to ensure flatness. On the 48” level, there are hand grips built into the frame to make it easier to hold. The hand grips and end caps are made from a very durable non-slip material to protect the level.The end caps can be removed if you need the end of the level to be flush with the surface. What I like most about these levels are the large easy-to-read bubbles. The bubble tubes are larger than any of my other levels which makes it very easy to read from a distance. The two-pack makes a great set for both large and small projects.

I never thought I would need a level that was taller than myself, but it certainly comes in handy when you have a job such as re-framing your front entrance. We took on a fairly decent project of converting our single door front entrance into a double door with side windows. The doors are 96″ tall and the frame was even taller than that. Of course you can use a smaller level to achieve the same end result, but having a single level that matches almost the entire length of your framing makes the job quicker and easier. The construction of the level itself is actually very impressive. It has a very nice weight to it, is extremely easy to read, has ergonomic handles and the rare earth magnets inside provide it with a very strong hold.

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 !
