Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a previous review mentioned, the color change is ambiguous. Is it red or orange or what? If it changes color at all, does that mean lead is present? The instructions aren't clear on that point. What the packaging doesn't tell you is that if what you want to test is painted red, this testing kit cannot be used since a positive result is shown by the surface turning "red" or "pink." Now I have to find a different tester not only to test red paint but also to confirm the orange result of this testing kit. Save your money and just buy another brand from the start. *I tried another brand, the First Alert Lead Test Kit, and it does have an option for testing dark-colored items, with a quantitative result chart that shows approximately how much lead is present in your sample, as opposed to the quick swab yes/no (more like "huh?") result this lesser Homax test. Get The First Alert Lead Test instead. **FINAL EDIT: Both of the aforementioned lead test kits gave false positive results. Unfortunately, I found out only after I'd already hired a lead abatement firm, whose professional detection equipment confirmed there was no lead where these little test kits had shown positive results. Save your money for the pros and get an accurate result before you start worrying like I did for no reason.
