Milwaukee 48 in. Concrete Screed Level

Haven’t actually used it yet other than checking it out. Quality sturdy build and accurate.

Easy to use professional grade concrete screed. So far have used for a small pad that I added on to existing stair landing.Screening and smoothing made easier with magnesium base that offers both square and round edge. Vials are large, easy to read and include pitch lines for proper drainage.Solid feel to tool and contoured to make it easy to grip in a messy job.Milwaukee made this level tough with an aluminum inner frame for durability. Very easy clean up with a hose which saves time. Worthwhile investment.

Best new tool I own

Great option for sidewalks and other medium size areas that need a precise slope for drainage. No waiting to check after it you have already smoothed it out, or after it dries, just take your time and level as you go. Has a good griping area, two levels, and a nice aluminum finish plate. Easy to clean and not too heavy. At 48 inches, this can accommodate a lot of different projects.

This is a multi-use heavy duty screed/level. Weighing in at about 4lb 5oz. it requires a fair amount of arm strength for one individual to use as a screed pulling through heavy material like concrete. With a 48″ span it could require 2 people to use it effectively over its full span. It’s a first-class tool, with a solid metal base, and two large level vials (one horizontal, one vertical) with visual step offsets for use in setting grades (see pictures). The bubbles are extra-large and exceptionally easy to see and read. The contoured rubber hand-grip along the full top side of the tool made it easy to hold the screed even in wet or slippery conditions (see picture). I haven’t used it yet for concrete or patio base prep work, but I did for checking the flatness of a wide surface. It was great for confirming that my concrete board installation was perfectly flat before I installed tile (see picture). I can see that the screed section will clean up easily, although the black rubber hand grips are bound to attract some grime. As other reviewers have mentioned, it’s great to have a level function built into the screed, saving time and steps not having to reach for another tool. This is a very nice product that I would recommend to others.

Great concrete level. We used it to lay cement board before laying down faux wood tile. The level is made of good, heavy metal. Great quality and easy to use. We were very happy with nice weight of this level. We had this shipped to our house and the box we delivered in good condition. We are very happy with this level and it came in handy over a large area for laying tile. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

We’re in the process of installing concrete countertops in our kitchen and were looking at methods for leveling and smoothing the surface. Then we came across this jewel (the Milwaukee 48 in. Concrete Screed Level) and were very happy to have an all-in-one tool for that process. We (and our handyman son) have other Milwaukee levels (and other power tools) that we’ve liked, so we decided to give this one a try. It’s not cheap but is comparable to other screed levels. We got the 48″, which is just a bit longer than we needed for the countertops, but we also knew that there would be future concrete projects that would require this tool.The tool is easy to use and true to level (as far as we could tell).

I have a sidewalk that was done in sections. It collects water every time it rains because both sides slope to the middle. I have been thinking of how I was going to slope this out so that it slopes away from the house so it will stop collecting the water. Picture shows how big the puddle is. Concrete leveler can be used to re-slope the sidewalk, but how to know while I am screeding it. Then I saw this little beauty. As you can see in the pictures, there isn’t a big depression in the sidewalk, but it does collect water and dirt. The total slope from one side to the other is enough to drain the water.
