Measuring 12 in. in length, this level is sized for easy storage inside a tool box or tool bag without adding unnecessary bulk.

Milwaukee EMPEM81.12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milwaukee True Blue 12 in. magnetic level stick to a steel tool box or metal cart on its own?
Yes. The True Blue 12 in. level has a magnetic base that grips steel and other ferrous surfaces, so it holds itself in place while you mark or adjust material. On aluminum, stainless with no ferrous content, plastic, or wood you'll have to hold it by hand, since the magnets have nothing to grab.
2) What is a comparable magnetic level to the Milwaukee EMPEM81.12 True Blue 12 in. level?
The closest alternative is the Klein Tools 65200MAG Slim-Profile Magnetic Level. Both are magnetic-base levels that hold to steel tool boxes, carts, and other ferrous surfaces so both hands stay free for marking or adjusting. The Milwaukee True Blue unit is a 12 in. tool box level with a magnetic base, while the Klein 65200MAG is built on a slim profile for tight spots such as between studs or inside panel enclosures. If the deciding factor is a defined 12 in. working length for checking tool box lids and equipment surfaces, the Milwaukee is the direct pick; if the level has to slide into a narrow gap, the slim-profile Klein is the one to look at.
3) What part number do I order for the Milwaukee True Blue 12 inch magnetic tool box level?
Order Milwaukee part EMPEM81.12. It's a single-configuration item, so there is no handing, finish, or size choice to specify, just the one 12 inch magnetic level.
4) What else does ZenSupply carry in a magnetic level if I want a slimmer profile than the Milwaukee True Blue?
The Klein Tools 65200MAG Slim-Profile Magnetic Level is the other magnetic level we stock. It's built around a slim body, which is the differentiator against the Milwaukee True Blue 12 inch magnetic tool box level; the Milwaukee is specified by its 12 inch length and magnetic base.
5) I need a magnetic level that fits in a tight space an electrical panel or between studs. Is the 12 in. Milwaukee the right one?
For narrow openings, the Klein Tools 65200MAG Slim-Profile Magnetic Level is the better-suited tool, since its slim profile is what the design is built around. The Milwaukee EMPEM81.12 True Blue level is a 12 in. magnetic tool box level intended to be grabbed off a steel box or cart, checked, and stowed again, so its strength is quick hands-free checks on open ferrous surfaces rather than fitting into a confined cavity. Many electricians carry both: the slim Klein for panel and stud work, the compact Milwaukee for general equipment and tool box checks.
6) Is a magnetic tool box level the right choice for an electrician setting conduit and boxes?
For short checks it works well. The magnets let the level hang on a steel box, strut, or panel so both hands stay free for marking and fastening, which is the main reason to pick a magnetic level over a plain one. It's catalogued for electrical work and sized at 12 inches for quick attach-and-check use on metal equipment. For plumb on a long conduit run, step up to a longer level.
