Lead Test Kit 20 Instant Testing Swabs for Home Dip Swab in Water (No Vinegar Required) Lead Detector Dishes Paint Metal Surface Detection

Easy to use

Deze test slaat bij verschillende metalen aan. Dus je weet dan eigenlijk nog niet of het echt lood is.

These do work. Tested items and they didnt change colour, so to confirm working, rubbed against the lid of an air rifle pellet tin (the pellets are made of lead) and it turned pink instantly so they di work for showing lead. Very easy to use

I bought these after listening to a podcast about lead levels in older UK homes. We’d just finished redoing our 70s pink bathroom and I had a bit of a panic that I’d accidentally exposed the family during the work. These swabs are dead easy to use—just dip in water and test. I also used them on a box of vintage Matchbox cars we’d given to our son. Out of 20 cars, two tested positive and went straight in the bin. It’s a small price to pay to know the house and toys are safe. If you live in an older property, these are a must-have for a bit of reassurance.

I think these work well and are easy to use. Tested lots of wooded surfaces and paint in the house. All negative. Been deciding to test during work just in case I expose anything. On my bay window. Suddenly started getting a mild purple change. Panicked me. Turns out the modern wood filler I was using for what ever reason caused a colour change on the test kit. Did a scratch test on the wood in another area. Negative. Cleaned all the filler away and tested same area. Negative. So just watch out and be sure what you are testing! But otherwise good.

Tested on brand new rustoleum all-surface paint, goes pink. Totally useless, I think it's detecting zinc, not lead.
