Pros

The book contains detailed explanations and helpful steps and diagrams for measuring your bodyfat. I'm no pro by any means, but i like to track my progress in regards to health and fitness and this is the easiest way for me to do it. My bmi at 37 year...  Read More

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.

Once calibrated to an accurate machine the three point skin fold test is just as accurate. My husband takes my measurements as certain locations (sub-scapular) would be impossible for me to pinch on myself.



Cons

The spring is so tight it bruises the skin. Even the diagrams in the booklet depict how to take measurements on someone else. Bad design or manufacturing defect.

    As for the accuracy i would say fairly accurate but difficult to measure if you are too high andor too low in body fat percentage

    I can only do an abdominal measurement by myself


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    No need to get that expensive electrical one


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
