Milwaukee® Introduces New Measurement Technology with REDSTICK™ Digital Levels
MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool continues to develop new technology for enhanced jobsite productivity with the introduction of REDSTICK™ Digital Levels w/ PINPOINT™ Measurement Technology. With a dynamic, 360° full-color display, a proprietary calibration process, and powered by Milwaukee’s USB REDLITHIUM™ battery, REDSTICK™ Digital Levels provide the best user experience, are the most accurate levels on the market, and the world’s first rechargeable digital levels.
“The digital level options on the market today offer limited information and functionality or are simply too delicate to live up to jobsite conditions. We set out to redefine the digital level and provide a solution that no longer forced users to make trade-offs between the efficiencies of technology and the confidence of durability,” said Taylor Crenshaw, Senior Product Manager. “Built with an advanced calibration process, the new REDSTICK™ Digital Levels are accurate to .03 degrees with no calibration required and have a frame that is 25% stronger* to protect that accuracy for the life of the product.”
PINPOINT™ Measurement Technology provides precision measurement features that can be easily read-out through numeric, graphic, color and audio information on the level’s high-resolution 360° display. In addition to a Fine Mode the levels also include a unique Pin Mode which allows users to lock in an exact measurement and replicate that measurement in real-time on the display. Users also have a range of options for selecting the sensitivity and tolerance of these readouts to best suit their application.
The PINPOINT™ Measurement Technology components and high-resolution display are built within a frame that is 25% stronger*, protecting their digital accuracy. An IP65 rating ensures these levels can stand up to the harshest jobsite conditions, including dust and water. The levels are also backed by a 3-Year Accuracy Guarantee.**
This advanced technology is powered by Milwaukee’s REDLITHIUM™ USB batteries***, making these the world’s first rechargeable digital levels. These batteries give users versatility needed and are capable of being charged either in the product or separately with a charger. With a charge time of about an hour, users can get back to work quickly.
Milwaukee will continue to grow in the layout & measurement space by providing premium, trade focused solutions that offer industry-leading features, innovative new technology, and increased durability for the best user experience.
*When compared to the Milwaukee® REDSTICK™ Box Levels.
** In the unlikely event that the end user experiences an issue with accuracy, the level can be replaced per our stated warranty.
*** REDLITHIUM™ USB gives users rechargeable convenience and performance. Capable of being charged either on the product or on a separate charger, REDLITHIUM™ USB eliminates the dependency on disposable batteries.

New Milwaukee® Expandable Levels Allow Users to Frame More with No Maintenance
MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool has breathed new life into a core category of tools for stick framers, door/window installers, and remodelers with the introduction of REDSTICK™ Expandable Levels. Able to extend to various sizes for applications where layout versatility is necessary, the new levels are built with reinforced internal components to resist damage and wear upon heavy use for longer life and no maintenance.
Other similar levels available on the market are built with exposed plastic locks that are too flimsy and vulnerable to breaking. The REDSTICK™ Expandable Levels improve on this with a durable lock that is inset and protected by an I-beam frame. The integrated adjustable mechanism provides ultimate slide control over the extension arm.
For the very best readability and visual accuracy, the new levels feature SHARPSITE™ Vial Technology. Black bands on the vials create high contrast edges that make the magnified bubble easier to read and deliver precision-grade accuracy especially when users need to easily check plate-to-plate accuracy while stick framing.
Built to withstand challenging jobsite conditions, the SHARPSITE™ vials are engineered with high-impact acrylic which delivers 10X more durability than the standard competitive block vials and protects the accuracy over the life of the level.
The magnetic model includes amplified rare-earth magnets which provide maximum holding power in common metal applications like installing commercial doors and windows. Precision milled measuring surfaces on the top and bottom guarantee accuracy in all working positions. The larger 6-1/2’ – 12’ level can plumb up to 12’ structures and collapses to a portable 78” size.
The new REDSTICK™ Expandable Levels are backed by a Lifetime Accuracy Guarantee*. Milwaukee will continue to grow in the layout & measurement space by providing premium, trade focused solutions that offer industry-leading performance, innovative features and increased durability.
* In the unlikely event that the end user experiences an issue with vial accuracy, the level can be replaced.

Milwaukee Introduces Line of Framing & Rafter Squares with New-to-World Features
MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool is proud to announce its first line of MEP focused framing and rafter squares. Designed from the ground-up to address common user frustrations, the new Milwaukee® Squares are built to provide superior durability and versatility. The squares include features unique to the industry such as scribe notches on the framing square and a magnetic heel on the rafter square.
The 7” Magnetic Rafter Square is built with rare earth magnets in the heel which provides a secure hold on all ferrous surfaces and the 1-1/8” heel provides more grip while working with rounded stock. The tool also has the most precision scribe notches (1” – 6”) of any rafter in its class, as well as a 1” pipe cutting jack. This feature is new-to-world for rafter squares, helping to elevate and tightly hold materials such as conduit, copper, and rigid pipe during cuts. The square is also made with more aluminum for extreme durability. This is the only rafter square truly designed for steel stud framers and MEP contractors.
The 16” x 24” Aluminum Framing Square is constructed of more aluminum, reinforcing the frame and delivering the durability of steel but keeping it lightweight. The aluminum also helps the square resist rust. This square is also the first framing square to feature precision scribe notches for marking in 1/2″ and 1/4″ increments. Highly visible laser-etched markings will not wear off, providing trusted accuracy throughout the life of the square.
Made in the USA*, the new Milwaukee® Framing and Rafter Squares are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Milwaukee will continue to grow in the layout & measurement space by providing premium, pro-driven solutions that offer industry-leading performance, innovative features and increased durability.
*Except for the rafter square magnets.
