i think a 2 foot level is the most useful around the house. my 4 foot level is great for new construction and the like but around the house it is too big. this very solid 2 foot level now is the go to. the magnetic side is convenient if you are using it on pipes or conduit or ductwork. otherwise it is just another level.this level gets high marks for being very thick and stout as opposed to most i-beam levels and being made in the USA. the only complaint i have which is minor is that the magnet strip isn’t flush with the metal sides.

I am always looking for an opportunity to upgrade my tools with a Milwaukee product. This is another well made Milwaukee tool with a lot of well thought out features. It is well balanced and has a really strong magnet for working on metal surfaces – see pictures. The level bubbles are easy to read and the level has a lifetime warranty. Another great addition to my tool box.

Milwaukee is good quality .. and a preferred brand. Was Christmas gift to son doing rehab work on a rental.

This is an excellent level with I-beam construction and three vials. The center vial has marks for drain pipe pitch by percentage. The 78″ length is great for making sure door frames are plumb, something I struggled doing with a 4′ level particularly making sure all points along the frame don’t vary as they do in many older houses. The full length magnetic strip made it east to plumb and level commercial storage racking. No problem with accuracy here.

The Milwaukee 48 inch magnetic I-beam level appears to have a slightly thicker frame, but note it was compared to a major brand’s 24 inch level. It is magnetic which pipe fitters and steel workers may find as important feature whereas carpenters may not. The center horizontal vial has 1° and 2° pitch graduations. There is a vertical vial at each end which depending on your preference may seem redundant. If I had to make a suggestion or two on any changes, I would say make one of the vertical vials adjustable and change the end caps from plastic to a hard rubber.

Magnet is strong without over powered. Is missing the numbers for measurements so that’s really the only con.

Not quite the quality of a “Red Stick” but with very visible level vials in low light. Strong magnet.

Milwaukee Tool is known for high quality products and this I-Beam level is just another reason to keep on buying their products. This level is Made in the USA and built of quality materials. I have never had a level of this length before so right away I wanted to make sure my garage door was level because I replaced the springs during the summer. First I wanted to check the door tracks and they were fine and didn’t need any adjustments. Then I checked the door bottom and top panels while the door was closed and open. I really appreciated the magnetic feature for hands free leveling and adjusting if necessary and the bubble window at the top of the level was helpful. I plan on doing some landscaping and I will be able to use the pitch lines when grading. All in all, I am going to get a lifetime of use from this and it has a Lifetime Warranty.

Let me start off by saying this thing is built very well and just looks great with the finish it has on it. It seems very strong, but is still light enough to easily handle being it’s a larger level. One of my top favorite features is it’s magnetic strips on the sides so it can be held onto metal objects. This is very handy as I have to level several metal objects sometimes, and it just makes it so much easier. Like so many of my other Milwaukee products, this level is great and is built so it can stand up to either daily or occasional use. Highly recommended! Now I just need to complete the set with different sizes of levels.

This Milwaukee I-beam level is perfect for those light jobs such as shelving, cabinets and some minor steel framing. I would like to had seen a stronger strip magnet and a paint finish more resistant to scratching. I didn’t feel the aluminum frame to be 40% thicker as advertised. Now with that said, this level performs very well. I really like the easy-to-read vials with quite distinct Pitch-Lines. As I’ve aged in the trades, these kinds of details I’ve come to appreciate.

The level is thick, extremely durable, actually fun to hold in your hand. I love the magnet. It is so nice to be able to not have to worry about holding the level along with the pipe while I am attempting to install conduit. When I am finished using it or using it to level 2x4s, it is nice to be able to stick it on something and not set it on the floor. I like it whenever I don’t have to set my tools on the construction floor. It avoids damage to the tools and you avoid trip hazards.

The Milwaukee 24 Inch Magnetic I-Beam Level is a well-made, sturdy level. Unlike plastic counterparts, this aluminum level will not bend when trying to use as a straight edge. It provides a solid profile to use when determining if a surface is level or plumb. Openings on the frame are large and makes it easy to determine pitch or unevenness of the surface you are working with. This is a US made tool and seems to be a long-lasting tool for your collection.

I wanted a nice feature packed level and this Milwaukee MLIBM48 delivers. The build quality and materials are first rate. This model is magnetic along one side full length. These are made in USA and it shows in the craftsmanship. It features a lifetime warranty. The frame is thick and heavy duty. The levels are very secure. The levels feature 1 and 2 degree pitch lines for projects that need drainage. Overall, I’m very happy with it.

This is a really great level that serves the demands of a busy neighborhood DIY and is built heavy to last. As advertised, it’s thicker than the regular ‘off the shelf’ level, you can really feel the heft to it. And the 1 and 2 degree marks on the bubble help give you a better idea of much or little your are off on perfect. Have already used it helping a neighbor put up a new shed and then making sure that studs were plumb and the shelves were level. And if I should be doing any work with steel studs or shelves, the magnetized rubber strip runs the complete length of the level, giving a very good grip. Definitely a big help when working by yourself, too!

The Milwaukee 48″ I-Beam Level is one heavy duty level that will hold up to years of tough use at the jobsite. I have had other aluminum I-Beam levels, but they cut corners by skimping on the thickness of the aluminum. A couple of drops or rough treatment and they are no longer straight or the bubble level is broken. This Milwaukee level is heavy duty and does double duty as a guide for cutting with the circular saw. Plus it comes with a magnetic strip which you usually see only on the smaller levels. Tools are an investment and the Milwaukee level is worth the money.

Love this level so far. My previous 4′ level that I had for close to 20 years finally crapped out (bound to happen when you drop it once to often in 20 years). This Milwaukee tool looks like an excellent replacement. The level is solidly built with the typical I beam construction. The weight is nice. All of the bubble are easy to view. I particularly like the window in the top for the center bubble. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before. I also like the 1 and 2 degree markers on the center level for when you pitching pipes for plumbing. I do not do a lot of work with steel framing, but can see how the magnet feature of this level wold be fantastic. The level easily sticks to the steel leaving our hands free (see attached pic). I think I’m going to be very happy with this tool for a very long time.

very nice! My husband loves it

Great level. What else can I say. I really enjoy Milwaukee tools and this one is no exception. The bubbles are very clear and easy to read. There is a slot cut out for viewing the middle bubble when the level is not turned on its side. The magnet is probably the best feature. It is really strong. I had originally thought that the magnet would serve to simply keep it from tipping over and not offer all that much grip. But holy smokes, I stuck it upside down on a piece of metal in my garage and it snapped to the surface. No problem holding its own weight. Super impressed.
