Measure Lean Body Mass and Body Fat
This is a very accurate method of tracking body composition changes and the Slim Guide Skin fold Caliper with the Booklet is a GREAT tool for doing this. I have used a few tools over the decades and for the price...this is a great tool!The booklet DOES give you answers for 1, 2 and 4 location tests instantly without any complex math. (see P.S. at bottom.)This is best used by taking measurements over a period of time and tracking changes. If your interest is simply to monitor your body composition over time for general health, once every one to three months is a good interval. If, on the other hand, you have a specific goal or are in an intensive nutrition/training cycle, you may wish to track once a week.If you are looking to lose weight (by losing excess fat) ...measuring Lean Body Mass and Body Fat is the only way to insure you are not losing muscle and water.Many diets cause massive losses of water and muscle (very low calorie and...

Good product
I like that the booklet gets into why measuring body fat percentage is a more accurate way to assess health and fitness, although people buying this product will likely know that already. It also teaches how to properly pinch and measure the sites for the equation it includes.The caliper itself is well-built. As you can see in the picture, it has springs. This means you only have to worry about pinching in the correct spot in the correct away without having to worry about how much force you're applying, as with the Accumeasure calipers. The reason I docked a star is that the front jaws aren't perfectly aligned, meaning there's a lateral deviation of about a quarter inch. Since the jaws are pretty wide I don't think this negatively impacts the readings, but it still reflects poorly on the build quality. Other than that, it's a solid product.

The way to go
I tried the electronic bodyfat scales with widely varying results. These calipers were extremely easy to use and the included booklet gave lots of valuable information on body fat percentage. Very repeatable results, now I know my BMI. No weight-loss program would be valid without an accurate measure of bodyfat and this one does the trick.

Simple and Does the Job
This caliper works well and the "click" feature takes the guesswork out of the correct pressure to use. The chart that's included with the documentation is possibly too simplified, but there are sufficient online resources for using the calipers to determine body fat. I consider it a good value for the home user.

Perfect Buy at this Price
The caliper is *great* and the myotape can be useful, too. Both are easy to use.Some reviews have said the caliper is too simple to be effective, but they are mistaken. Their problem is not with the caliper, but the way they are using it (see more below). This product is recommended by the pros, and there is no reason to pay any more.Caliper: It's a little tough to get a consistent reading, but with practice it gets easier. The product has a great "click" feature so you can never push too hard. Do not use the instructions or the chart that comes with the product, however, as it will decrease the accuracy and consistency of your body fat measurements. A much more reliable method is to use the internet (see below).Myotape: Very easy to use and good compliment to caliper.How to maximize this product using the internet:1) EXRX dot net has a page which lists the skinfold sites to measure under /Testing/BodyCompSites.html and a...

It's not a fancy gadget, but it does the job!
This little plastic product is so quick and easy to measure your body fat percentage that you almost feel like it can't be that accurate.But just for kicks I had my body fat measured with one of those fancy electronic machines several times before using the Accu-Measure calipers.The average of three readings for the electronic device was 26% body fat while the Accu-Measure showed 25.5%. Not bad considering this product is a whole heck of a lot CHEAPER than the electronic body fat machines.I'm trying to get my body fat down to single digits and these Accu-Measure calipers will help me track my progress. VERY affordable and they REALLY work!

Simple, Accurate, Inexpensive Body Fat Measurement
This is the 3rd body fat testing device I have purchased. The other two: and have been used for some time and I wanted to add this manual one to see if perhaps digital, at least in this case, is not the way to go. I've kept records of my digital readings and when I took my measurements at the same time as the others with the Accu-Measure manual calipers I found that the manual reading was 2% less than the digital ones. I retook all the measurements 3x's and came up with the same results.What does this mean? For me it means I'm going to go with this one. While seeing the digital...

Better than expected for the price
Definately worth the price!The caliper is all plastic and should be treated with care, but if used properly is very accurate and easy to use.The myotape is awesome! I was not planning on buying the myotape, it just came with the calipers, but when i got it and used it, it was amazingly simple and brilliant. I can measure arms, forearms, calves, thighs, waist and chest in about 60 seconds, as where before it would take 10 minutes to take all those measurements.At just under $10 this combo is unbeatable.

Inexpensive, but gets the job done
This set is a great way to get started monitoring your percentage of body fat. It's not the best quality caliper, but it definitely works well enough to track your weight loss progress. The Myo Tape however is great! It's easy to use, and works well. If you buy this set, be sure to go online and download better body fat charts and tips on measuring. The one chart that comes with this set is a little too basic to give you an accurate percentage.

Good Calipers for Low Budget
The Slim Guide calipers are a decent alternative to the Lange or other, higher end calipers. While not quite as accurate, you will get a similar reading on this $20 version as you do on the $150-$300 calipers, as long as you are a reliable, experienced tester.While I recommend spending the extra money for the best calipers that produce the most accurate results, these aren't bad for someone just starting out.

Works Perfectly if you are Detail Oriented
Back in the old days before they had scales and hand-held devices to measure your body fat percentage, you actually had to "pinch your skin" to figure out your body fat. Maybe you remember this from grade school? You can still do that if you want to! Here is a digital caliper, the Fat Track II.First, how a caliper works in general. You pinch a portion of your skin up away from your body. The three locations are your thigh, your abdomen, and then an "upper area". For men the upper area is the chest. For women (for sort of obvious reasons) it has to be somewhere else, so they go with the back of their arm. This gives a general overall body fat measurement.How can this work? Fat tends to line the inside of your skin. For example, that is why people who were obesely overweight, who then drop down to only "overweight" have "pouches". It is because they still have fat inside their skin and that fat is pulling the skin down. If you watch The Biggest Loser, you know...

Not only tracks fat, but can be a motivation source
No guessing or benefit of the doubt here. Exactly and quickly measures body fat for any age and gender. Will track 3 people complete with records. Know your fat % in about a minute. I'm a mid 30's dad who always lifted weights, so with bigger muscles it helped to look "in shape" even when my waist went up to 36". Testing with Fat Track every week was awesome! I went to a 31" Calvin Klein jeans, (working out OF COURSE)still weighing about 200 pounds. How awesome THAT felt! Better than high school, baby! For my wife too! It REALLY helps to see the results a week after you don't exercise and eat that fried seafood dinner, or go nuts with the chocolate fudge! Your fat % goes UP over the next week or so! Get motivation from exercise...you see the results. We lost ours and I'm ordering another one because BOTH of us are gaining weight now without it...that tells me it REALLY makes a difference. (We must lie to ourselves, but Fat Track tells us the horrible-or terrific- truth.)

Missing key information in instructions
I just got this thing and I'm happy with it in general, but there is a reference to an "IMPROVE YOUR MEASURING SKILLS" guide that is not included. It is impossible to get reliable results with this tool without a diagram of where to get the measurements. Just saying chest, abdomen, thigh is ridiculously unclear.It is also somewhat difficult to learn how to pinch fat only. The first few times you are likely to get crazy results.I was able to find this manual page on the internet:http://www.accufitness.com/products/fattrack_pro_manual2.htmlIt cleared up most of my issues.--brian

great product but...
I like these calipers but would like for the pressure tips to be timed differently. The tips are too sensitive and read a measurement to quickly. Basically, I am not getting a full pinch before it takes the reading! It is about 2 to 3 points off each manual pinch taken. Being a fitness professional my clients want extreme accurate measurements. So I also purchased a manual one to double check the readings. If you can afford the Lange body fat calipers I recommend them!! But for cost and ease of use these will work! WARRIOR DIGITAL BODY MASS CALIPER As far as SEQUOIA FITNESS and Amazon. They were both easy to work with and I got my product in a timely manner!
