The test kit I use it to try cutting it. If the steel cuts easily, chips break readily, and turning with HSS doesn't wear out tools....must be leaded steel.
I really don't know how those kits would work on steels. I assume they can detect trace amounts of lead, but almost all steels have at least a trace of "Pb". At least the ones that aren't RoHS compliant. ;)
Consider buying from the non-Ebay on-line sources for better assurance of getting quality materials.
