Did not provide accurate readings by Gregory P. Hart (Sarver, PA USA)

This device works by measuring a skinfold with a small tab that "clicks" into place at the right tension and measurement. I used this 3 times and got consistent readings (that I thought were a bit low, but maybe they were right as I don't have a true recent measurement to compare against). After the third reading, however, the small tab required much less resistance to click to identify the right measurement and starting giving widely varying measurements. I shipped back and had no problems returning, so I would shop again from this seller as they stood behind the product. I fault myself partly as this is a very inexpensive caliper and you get what you pay for. I would recommend buying a bit heavier duty one for others.

It gives an accurate measurement of the layer of skin/fat as it's supposed to. Lance Umansky

cheap and not worth it by Jack (NC)

There is no "click" as the directions claim to tell you when to stop the measurement. The directions describe a supra-illiac or whatever location for the measurement but the picture shows an abdominal placement -- who knows which they really mean? I guess if you just want to follow your progress and you are very careful in how you take the measurement, the product would be useful for that. It is not of use to determine what your body fat actually is however and it is difficult to use correctly.

Not an excellent product by Ian D. Owens (Birmingham, AL United States)

This is a great value item at under $4 but it's hard to get consistently accurate readings. I've been using it for some weeks now with varied results. I wouldn't purchase this again...next time I'd come off a little more cash and go with one of the electronic versions.

Very hard to use on some body parts by skepticalis

I found it nearly impossible to get a reading in the thighs, where there is a lot of muscle and not much loose skin. The 'clicking' feature didn't really work either. It is an inexpensive item, but the difficulty of using it, getting the exact same location every time, makes it something I won't use again. It isn't worth sending it back. I found the website another reviewer posted that you could post your measurements on more useful, just using a tape measure, and then it generates an approximate body fat percentage. If you are disproportionate where you store fat, it is probably more accurate than an impedance device, and there is some use to it for giving you rough information but not for extreme accuracy.
