This little contraption works well. Has a nice instruction book with. The instruction book is very detailed. Additional information is helpful to understand its resourcefulness.
The calipers never lie. It still hurts. But it works well.

No need to get that expensive electrical one

This caliper does pinch harder more spring tension than lange calipers so your body fat calculation will appear less than what it actually is
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
But we’re using it to chart decreasing changes over time not necessarily for exact accuracy so paying 225 for lange vs 15 for this is a no brainer for us

Well it comes with a small book which i sorta felt obligated to read
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The origins of this tool date back pretty far so the booklet sorta feels like that
