I bought this item 2 months ago and now I leave my review here.
It is a very good product. Definetely nothing to complain.
Before I buy it as usual I read the previous reviews here and I found quite shocking what some people said.
The main point for me is that this product has not been used properly.
Outer the main scale (the one which shows milimeters and inches) there is a mobile scale it helps you to make the right measure. Before you start to measure you have to move this outer scale to the end of the main scale. Doing this when you compress the handles to make contact to your skin the outer scale moves together. So as soon as you hear the click you can release the handles and read the measure because the outer scale will be standing in the last position you left.
Anyway, I really recommend it. After I changed my food, keep doing my exercices and I started to make weekly measures my fat % dropped from 18 to 15% in 2 months.

Having read other reviews of this product I was in two minds about it, but because of the low cost and the wildly erratic and obviously incorrect results my Salter electronic scales are giving me, I decided it was worth a shot.
I'm glad I did, because these callipers are pretty good and very easy to use! The only issue I have had with them is remembering exactly where I sampled last time, as you need to do it in pretty much exactly the same place each time to track your body fat changes accurately. I imagine it will help if you have a tattoo or scar above your right hip, because you can then remember where you sampled relative to a feature on that.
The one concern I had prior to buying these was the material and construction quality, since the callipers look flimsy and it would appear that the "click mechanism" used to tell you when you've squeezed enough might be prone to wearing down. However the manufacturer states that the callipers are made of a DuPont material called Delrin which has been tested to withstand thousands of samples. Assuming you're testing once a week, this should mean the callipers last for quite a long time! I can confirm that once they're in your hand they don't feel flimsy at all.
I'd recommend these to a friend (in fact I already have). They only lose one star because that uncertainty of "have I sampled the same place I sampled last time?" introduces a slight element of doubt into any body fat tracking.

As a Fitness Instructor, this is one of those pieces of kit which I need to go out and buy for my job. The fact it's endorsed by the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation speaks for itself. You cannot really go wrong with this one. Very simple, very affordable and very, very reliable. Take the measurement, match it upto the age and % on the graph and boom, that is your current bodyfat level.
If inexperienced in taking bodyfat measurements, the only thing you may have difficulty with is finding the correct area to take it from, as it states in the guide, but it shows it all for you and the rest just comes with experience using this. After 2-3 tries, you won't even need to look at the guide to find the right spot anymore.
As a trainer I always had a preference for the Bodystat 1500 machine, but seeing that is around £700, you cannot really go wrong with this simple calliper kit.
