Milwaukee 14 in. Redstick Digital Box Level with Pin-Point Measurement Technology W/ 700 Lumens LED Rechargeable Flashlight

Great light very bright. Well made. Easy to charge battery.

So far so good

This is a very well built and bright flashlight.

Great product, plus it is rechargeable!! No more using batteries on the flashlight.

Bright light with several modes and can be recharged. Works great and is compact.

Milwaukee 24 in. Redstick Digital Box Level with Pin-Point Measurement Technology – a Home Depot Seeds Program ReviewI think everyone would agree that a level is an essential tool for everyone. I never thought about a really clever one and have gone so far as to balance a bottle one a 2×4 to get a pretty close approximation of level. I got this 24 inch level after I got the 72 inch version of the Redstick. The operation of the two levels is identical and even use the same documentation booklet. I’ll try to summarize and note the differences. Both of these Digital Levels sure opened my eyes to just how much technology can be incorporated into something like a simple level.Obviously the major difference between the 24 inch and 72 inch levels is well…four feet! At 24 inches with the plastic endcaps on it will fit far more easily in tighter spots. Without the endcaps it’s about 21.5 inches so it can get even a little tighter. While much longer I found helping my brother flatten an eight foot long slab of wood to be far superior with the 72 inch level. I found I was less concerned with “exact” level from end to end since there’s far less length to vary a reading. Seriously though, I can live with a variance of a couple of hundredths of a degree over six feet, and even that is easily mitigated by swapping ends and averaging the measurements. This is a digital level with a rechargeable, Li-Ion battery recharged by an included USB cable and an included wall outlet USB charging adapter. There’s an included carrying bag that holds the level and has a pocket for accessories and documentation. I must admit having “accessories and documentation” for a level never crossed my mind. The level has a hang hole at one end for storage when not in the bag. There’s a top display and a front face display. While the top display is pretty generic, the front display is a bit more capable with some color, indicators for set tolerance, battery indicator, PIN settings, etc. The front face also has the control panel for powering off and on, selecting options, setting precision, tolerance, setting desired angles, etc. In addition to the visual displays there’s an audio alarm for when you get close to the selected PIN angle or to the 0 and 90 degree angles. I made sure the battery was fully charged – which took about close to one hour then went through some initial configuration changes like Mode (angle, percent, in/ft, mm/m), Sensitivity (hundreds, tenths, whole), Tolerance, Sounds, Power Mode and Language that you’ll want to make before using. The documentation details ways to do all of this as well as how to do in-field checks of the level. For the most part, the documentation is pretty good and understandable. In use, the level was very accurate with documented accuracy of 0.03 degrees at 0 and 90 degrees and 0.1 degrees between those angles with Milwaukee providing a three year accuracy guarantee. This is far better accuracy than I will probably ever have a need for and with the digital display, far better than I could hope to get eyeballing a bubble in a standard level. Once it’s turned on and starts up, there’s very little that can go wrong. It is, after all, a level. When a desired angle has been measured, pushing the PIN button remembers the angle for repeatability. It’s also possible to manually set a PIN for producing a desired angle. Checking, producing and reproducing angles is simple, accurate and repeatable. If there was anything I could suggest is some sort of magnetic attachments. The level is a good, rigid aluminum but the plastic endcaps are removable. Perhaps there could be an option for magnetic endcaps. I may even fashion these myself by gluing some rare earth magnets into them.The Milwaukee 24 inch Redstick Digital Level, like the 72 inch version, is quite the instrument. This is definitely NOT your father’s level. It’s smart, accurate, durable and consistently produces repeatable results but these come at a pretty steep cost. If your business or work demands excellence in precision measurements the cost could be well worth it. If a bottle balanced on a 2×4 is all the precision you need then you might look for a different product. Personally, while I don’t have the need for super precision, I’m glad I have this 24 inch version of the Redstick Level. Now I have to fashion the magnetic endcaps.

Great product gonna buy another one to have two

Awesome!!! A little bulky but still great.

Only used a couple of times has worked great and is made very well

A very impressive level! This 24″ digital level by Milwaukee (model MLDIG24) is high quality, incredibly accurate and precise, flexible, and easy to use. There is no “bubble” – only an electronic display, which is accurate to 0.03 degrees. The dual displays (color on the side, large monochrome on top) are bright and clear, even readable in direct sunlight through polarized sunglasses. The top one is for angular measurements only, while the circular one on the side includes menus for setting various options. The unit measures in angle, percent, in/ft, and mm/m and the sensitivity/precision can be set to whole units, tenths or hundredth for extremely precise measurements. It operates in English, French or Spanish. The unit takes about 5 seconds to power up and initialize, and powers down either automatically or via the power button (hold for three seconds). The included special-purpose battery charges through a standard mini-USB port, and a charging cord and power adapter is included.The top display always shows the current angle and the direction needed to reach the “target” angle. It comes with 0 and 90 degrees preset targets, and adds the option to set a “PIN” target to any angle. The side display shows a more graphic depiction of the rotation needed to reach the target, with a moving directional indicator showing needed rotation as you get withing 10 degrees of target. There is also an audible option where the unit beeps at varying frequency within 10 degrees of your target until the target is reached. Both displays are adjust for orientation: if you flip the level over the displays flips accordingly, so they are always readable.The entire unit comes with a strong padded storage case with shoulder strap, and includes a dedicated zippered compartment for the charger and cord (and other small items if desired). Two things I did not like. The unit only does absolute measurements. You cannot, for example place the unit on an angled surface, set the unit to “0”, then measure relative angles. The only option is – ugh – math. I also had lots of trouble accessing the battery compartment. The cover fits tightly and the latch is difficult to operate while lifting the cover, and there are no instructions to give you confidence you aren’t going to break something. I used a small screwdriver to pry up the cover while depressing the latch. See photo.As usual, Milwaukee makes high quality, outstanding tools. There is virtually nothing to dislike about this level except the high price. It’s more level than most people need, but if you want the best – this is it!
