http://www.coptool.com/milwaukee-tool-to-acquire-empire-levels/ They are going to keep the brand separate like Stiletto hammers. They are still going to exist as a brand we might see some more Milwaukee levels offered in the end though.

Their new Electricians level is VERY handy with multiple leveling feature never before seen (by me) such as switch leveler and receptacle leveler

Pretty cool news. You’re like the Bruce Nolan of the tool world 😆

I bet milwaukee could make a really nice and rugged level.

I bet so too. I’d also be willing to bet we’ll find out 😉

Bottle opener on both ends, and a built in radio.. 😉

Yes, and there will be a wire stripper somewhere.

Hrmm, might be hard to use a six foot level to strip wire, but you could probably use 2 of them joined together as a makeshift stripper pole! Just found a new market for Milwaukee they could make and sell innovative stripper poles.

So it’s a stripper for really big wire
