Body Fat Caliper, Fat Measure Clipper Combo with Body Fat Percentage Measure Chart, Accurately Measuring Body Fat for Men and Women

I just got this so I maybe writing prematurely but I’m glad I was not scared off by the few bad reviews. It is lightweight and plastic so don’t play rough with it. It’s easy to read, be aware it does not click when you’re trying to get the reading just try to pay attention to where the line is pointed it that makes any sense. Seeing as I know I’m not as lean as I want to be right now I’d say the reading is about as close as accurate as I’m going to get until I can get a professional reading. Just follow the chart and instructions and you’ll be fine.

Accurate in its own way. Is this the most accurate way to measure body fat? I don't know. But it does track progress really well. So by its own measure, if you're BF= X, and you've been exercising, dieting, and in a certain amount of time measure again, it will reflect your progress ( or lack of progress). Used these for a biggest loser competition and it accurately measured the results, that no one could argue with because each competitor knew how much work each other was putting in. So the person that did the most work, lost the most body fat (noticeably even in pictures) and the calipers did not argue.c

Kind of blown away how much the scale is shifted for men v women. They get like 10%body fat off what I get for the same mm measurement. I call BS. Easy to use caliper. Unsure of the accuracy of the chart

These measure the thickness of your skin, which should reflect the amount of fat in your skin. I thought they might provide a helpful metric to use daily, like weighing yourself, but they are not precise enough to detect small changes. The technique and location of use allows for significant variability in measurements.

We received this the other day to start more accurately tracking our gains/losses. So far it has been exactly what we are looking for. It feels of a good build quality and the numbers are easy to read on it. The chart that came with it was nice to have as well. If you’re considering buying one, then this one would definitely fit the bill.

Like others have mentioned, there is absolutely nothing on these calipers that could possibly confirm accuracy when measuring (no usual clicking mechanism), and the instructions are littered with grammatical errors to slow you from realizing that you bought utter garbage. The slightest difference in squeeze-pressure will completely confound the reading, because the little arrow-head going into the plastic divot introduces a stupid amount of variance. But no worries, if you account for this error ahead of time, you will find that you are somewhere between fatally malnourished and morbidly obese. Actually, the error can extend beyond this range, but I am assuming you are still alive while reading this. Unless you are a ghost that has come back to haunt the people who made this worthless piece of plastic. If stuff like this sells, then maybe I should start selling tire pumps for cars where the pressure gauge drastically changes depending on how tightly you are gripping it. I should give 5 stars for ease-of-use, because these calipers are trash, and it was very easy to throw them in the trash.

This caliper is just too easy to use. I have been skipping gym because there are too many deadlines for the on-going projects at my company. I use this caliper to simply measure my body fat. For a small tool like this, it's safe and fair to say that it's accurate enough. I use it to measure my abs/tummy generally and I am in love with it.

These calipers normally have a click slide that will allow you to take a measurement on yourself. It's impossible to take an accurate self measurement with that. I tried to take several measurements in the same place and got readings of 5mm to 18mm. When I used my other caliper with the slide I get 10mm and with repeated measurements I consistently am within 1mm. So buy one with a slide, this one is pretty much useless if you are trying to take measurements on yourself.
