I bought this Body Fat Tester because I started a diet and wanted to check my fat loss and not only my weight loss (as weight loss is not only made of fat loss but can also include muscle loss for example).
I have had 3 different expensive scales at home which supposedly would do this. Yet, I have never managed to have a consistent measure. From one day to the other my body fat percentage would vary tremendously with no reason.
I then read that those scales were almost useless and that body fat calipers were basically the only way to really have an accurate idea of your level of body fat and how it evolves.
This little body fat caliper is absolutely perfect for that.
When I open the pack, I first had my doubts about its accuracy. How can this little plastic instrument could be that accurate ?
I then did like 10 measures in a row, and to my surprise the results were always absolutely the same (to the exact same millimeter).
One good thing also is that you can really easily use it alone without the help of anyone else.
I would not bother buying a digital caliper. This manual body fat tester delivers the same level of accuracy for a much better price.
If you are looking for a body fat tester, I would definitely recommend this one.

Does as it says on the tin!
It is a cheap and cheerful solution, if you don't have the time or money for expensive calipers, or if you intend to take the measurements yourself. It will still allow you to notice the increase/decrease change whether accurate or not - though make sure you look at online resources to learn how to measure properly.
In case anyone is looking for an incredibly accurate measuring item - clearly at this price, this device is not for you. There has been one study which shows this to be accurate within 1.1% of underwater bodyfat measurements, but I understand the accuracy actually differed WIDELY between the individual participants in the study.
This does not take anything away from the item though :) Overall, satisfied and meets my requirements!

I have had these for quite some time thanks to a promo and a lovely young lady called Tracy, who gave these to me. These really are a doddle to use and just taking the one measurement from your waist area is more than adequate for your average person. Lets face it you want to know that your body fat percentage has gone down, you are not required to know the most exact measurement, if you did then you would pay a fortune to have it done at a lab.
In our household we have a really nice looking pair of bathroom scales, they are digital and nicely flash your weight etc at you when you get on them. The only problem is that I have never had them work for me, if I am to get on them ten times in a row, then I will get ten completely different readings. With these calipers I just take a measurement and look it up on the easy to use chart and I can see if I have got slimmer or not.
With ease of use and great reliability you can always have handy your body fat percentage. These are not just handy for the home user, but also for personal trainers, you can show your client that they are indeed carrying less bodyfat. For those who want to diet these are a great incentive as they can easily show results. For bodybuilders these are great because with these and a tape measure you can see how much fat you are carrying, and then you can use a tape to see how big those muscles are.
Scales will only show your weight, but these much more importantly show your bodyfat percentage, which is a reliable way to see whether you are likely to get obesity related illnesses, or not.
