This is the most popular one I believe, the API liquid test kit.
There are also other versions, made for swimming pools, the one below was found at Home Depot
Some are strips that are easier to read certain colors, depending on different degrees of color blindness.

The test kits I use the most are ammonia, pH and High Range pH, KH. But I also have digital TDS pens and a continuous digital monitor for one tank that does TDS/Temp/pH. I have the GH kit but rarely use it. I have not owned a nitrate kit in years. I only use the nitrite kit when running my biofarm for cycling filters and then rarely. But I have been at this for over 20 years and am pretty familiar with my tanks and what I need to test and when.
The API master kit does not have the test for KH or GH.
You can get the API Master on Amazon for $26.74 with free delivery.

They also sell the GH/KH test kit for $10.99.
These are decent tests but they are not scientific quality. The nitrate test is the least accurate of the bunch.
