do these work when removing /sanding/ scraping old paint (probably lead based) of of metal and wood items?

Yes. They are made especially for that kind of work situation. They don't eliminate smelling the vapors however.

These are particulate ONLY so as long as you're not creating vapors from a heat gun on the lead paint, I would think they would be OK. I would use it if I were just scraping or sanding but to be more safe and comply with OSHA, you'd likely have to use one of the VAPOR cartridges.

Sorry but no no idea if they wld work. I use them to make bars of soap. Easy to remove soap.

The manufacturer no longer recommends them for painted surfaces or metals. Sorry!

I imagine they would. I've used them on chalkboard, black dry erase board, black painted boards, pretty much any black surface (other than paper) and it works great! A side note, for intricate work use a white colored pencil first and then go over it with the chalk pen because the colored pencil is easy to erase if you make a mistake and the chalk pen is a bit harder to erase small mistakes. If you want to erase all of it, wipe with water and if there's a white residue then wipe with Windex. Hope this helps! :-)

I use them on several types of metal such as aluminum, steel , brass. The light colors show up great on dark metals. The surface does need to be relatively clean of dirt, rust, grease or oil.

Not sure. But they are not brass and will not give you a false positive when cleaning for copper.

The short answer is...no...it will indeed remove the paint but it is not a substitute for scrapingIf I were to do the barn my first "tool" would be a power washer, used with care it does a fine job of removing 90% of that old paintand you can check the for hire at the box stores and get some one to do it for you!

Are these really lead paint?? Best tweezers in the world though, just don't eat them ;)

They probably would work but I wouldn't recommend it. These markers do their best work on glass, metal, plastic and on paper.

Yes you can use them on painted surfaces - don't know about a few years, but I've never had problems with staining

These work extremely well on wood, as for metal there's a bit of work to do all you have to do is keep adding lubricant oil as you drill and be on the lookout for over heating.

I'm sure they'll work on anything. HOWEVER, ours are less than one year old and a lot of the green paint has flaked off. Because they are over 60 days old, Amazon won't let me exchange them even though they are defective - I'm not trying to return them, I just want new ones. So, I got in touch with OSD directly and it appears that they will stand behind them - I just had to send them some photos and a copy of my Amazon receipt. I may never buy from Amazon again.

I suspect highly that they would work as they are slightly grippy on the ends, but I have only used on wood drawers so I make no promises.

I think these are geared more for metal and the grits on the sandpaper are pretty rough. Some could be used for course sanding on wood but nothing fine.

I recommend you read all the reviews. They worked on four wooden chairs with a laminate floor. The company says something like: 'slides as if on wheels' and that is about right. You can't go wrong with these for this type of application.

We did not use them on wood...just on laminated card stock. (They are fantastic for that!) Wish I could help.

I had one of these a long time ago. As far as I can tell they are only intended for wood working not metal working. They are fine for a beginning wood turner doing pens, small bowls and the like. I have not done any work on metals, but I don't think I would start working metals on this lathe. However, I have heard of some people doing limited work on brass on similar lathes, but never stainless steel. But, as I said, I haven't done metal work so I might be mistaken.
