It was nice to know that the antique we just put in our home does not have lead paint. Peace of mind when the grandkids come over

The instructions that come with this are easy to follow and the steps are very easy to use. Just get the q-tip-like tip wet and wipe it on the surface your testing. The color shows up in only a minute or so and the chart is easy to compare to determine if there's lead present. With 10 swabs in the pack, it's a great value. Handy to have around, especially if you live in an older house and want to test different paints or if you are into thrifting/antiques and want to test things before you bring them into your home.

Tried multiple of these swabs against another brand and every single one of these showed negative, while the other brand showed positive. These tests were performed on lead weights.Do not waste your money on these swabs.

These swabs are easy to use and accurate from what I can tell - I like to test these on fishing weights which I know to be lead and these did test positive with that. They're a bit pricey for a 10 pack but work well.

I like that this lead test kit is very easy to use. All I have to do is dip the swab and water for two seconds, shake off excess water, wait for the swab to turn yellow and then rub it against the surface that I’m testing for about 15 seconds. Then I can compare the colors to the color chart on the front of the package. If it’s red pink or purple, then I mean instead, it contains lead. 10 swabs come in one packet. They can be used on many different types of services to test for lead. I like that it is accurate and that the results shows in about a minute, which is pretty fast and convenient. The only thing that I don’t really like is that my package arrived covered in some type of oily substance which did not look clean. That part is a bit disappointing.

I was really hoping that this product would work as "Quick & Accurate." Unfortunately it struggles to detect lead when using a control group such lead pellets, lead solder, swabs from a rifle barrel etc. Please do not trust the MIC reagent to detect low levels of lead in your household. : (

I got this to test some household items I purchased at the thrift store, and it is easy to use. The swab just needs some clean water to wet the tip, and once it changes color, you swab it onto the item you are testing for lead. The package has the color comparisons on it so you can see if the swabbed item tests positive or not. The package also has a zip closure so it can store the swabs for later use. It's a nice kit, portable, and easy to use.

I got this lead test kit to test some questionable jewelry pieces. There are ten swabs in a sealed, zip top, foil-lined package. The swabs are about 3 inches in length. They are made up of a thin wooden rod with a cotton tip on one end. The package has easy to read instructions with a diagram. It’s stamped with a lot number, a manufacture date of “03-Jul-2024” and expiration date of “02-Jul-2026”.The instructions say to dip the swab in water for 2 seconds, shake off excess water, and then when it’s turned a mustard color (which happened pretty much instantly for me), rub it agains the test surface for 15 seconds. Then you compare the color of the swab to the color scale on the front of the package. When I did my test, my swab stayed yellow. I’m happy that it indicated no lead, however, I do not have anything that I’m sure has lead in it to test these with so I’m not sure if they work, or how accurate they are.This kit is easy to use and It’s quick. It didn’t seem to stain the jewelry I tested. I also got some on a plate and that wasn’t stained either. The chemical on the swab might have had an extremely faint odor, but I could not smell anything at arms length. I like that I didn’t need gloves to do the testing. I also like that it can be used to test a variety of different types of materials. If anything I have a little more peace of mind after testing my jewelry pieces. It would make me feel better if there was another review where someone had tested something where the tip turned a different color, just to know that they really work, but as of now I’m satisfied with this kit.
