Lightstuff Precision Skinfold Caliper - Easy, Reliable Tool for Monitoring Body Fat - Quick Start Guide for Beginners, Detailed Booklet for Advanced Users - Measures up to 80mm in Skin Fold Thickness

This is less accurate than the Enivifit scale I ordered at the same time, but I wanted to try different methods for measuring body fat %. However, this is well built caliper and easy to use. Best if you have a partner to take the additional measures on arms, back, etc. It's old school technology but does the trick. I will keep it but probably will rely on my new scale for tracking.

A valuable equipment for a healthy maintenance.Easy to use.Tables and booklet included with good information.

Using these takes consistency and skill I don't possess yet BUT the device itself is well made and seems accurate at measuring the gap between the calipers.

Either I’m to fat to get a pinch or I don’t know how to use it. I guess it’s a good one, but it didn’t help me. I’ll chalk it up to user error. Try it, you might get better use.

Works perfectly. However after using the reccomended equations to calculate body fat percentage I was not happy with the resulting numbers. I found my body fat percentage to be much higher than I would like. I am hoping that subsequent reading over the next few months will be more in line with my goals.

Works good over all. Only downside was that the numbers are only on one side of the caliper so when trying to measure yourself you have to get into some weird angles to try and see the numbers while still holding them to your skin. Other than that nothing wrong with this product that I have found for the price. As far as accuracy goes skinfold test is always hard to be accurate with so it's just a good Baseline to measure progress not necessarily the most accurate way to calculate body fat percentage.

Loved the product, fast delivery! Thanks!

Happy with this caliper. It was easy to use but I would recommend having someone help you for accurate measurements. The chart that comes with only recommends measuring at your belly and then finding that measurement based on your age & sex only.I found an online calculator at linear-software.com that shows video of how and where to take the measurements and then lets you enter those measurements for the calculated result. (Btw, some of these locations are near impossible to get by yourself, that's why a recommend someone help you). I have a home scale that uses electrical impedance to measure body fat; and over the past months as my waist has gotten smaller it only showed a decrease from 21% to 20%. Using this caliper and the online calculator it showed I'm at 15.5%. I'll have to repeat this over the coming months to see how they track.
