That’s the one I use; works great!

I’ve not had any issues with bottles leaking, though I’m careful to snug the caps before putting them back in the tackle box.

Does having a vial for “Chlorine Only” and a different vial for other tests have a benefit? I have just been using the one for everything.

The dpd powder can stain the vial so that’s why its a separate one.
You can use one for everything if you want - personal preference.

I use the same one for FC, TA and CH. I’m still on my first vial, it’s the lid and scoop that seem to stain the most but they’ve cleaned up ok. I haven‘t used the salt test for a while but that’s the one that stains the worst and the one I’d keep a second vial for.

Edit: My scoop eventually broke while cleaning, it pays to have a spare scoop and pill on hand.

I never throw away my scoops!!

I don’t either but I had been topping up my original Taylor kit with CCL reagents and I was get a bit of a collection of these little white which essentially do the same thing.

Keeping spare batteries for the speedstir is helpful for that moment when they die mid test. Or even better, the eBay impulse buy, a mains powered magnetic stirrer. + all the essential glassware.
