Acczilla Personal Body Fat Testing Kit - Measure and Track Your Fat Percentage with the Included Caliper and Measurement Chart

BDU: It's a cheap, plastic caliper. It does what it's supposed to do, at a ridiculously cheap price, bafflingly shipped for pretty much nothing from China. How do they do it?

I can't confirm the accuracy, but it makes sense and seems to give reasonable results. Regardless, it should help me track my relative fat loss just fine, even if it can't give me the actual accurate values.

My concern is that the plastics elastic properties might change with use, and give less and less accurate readings. But at this price, who can complain?

CMG906: If you complain about this product, you're an idiot. It's so in expensive, if it broke after 20 uses I would be fine with it. But it works well, easy to use, easy to read... It does the job. People say they can't read it, probably because they're too fat, figure it out. It came straight from China and took about a month to get... But whatev.

Sasha Lopez: Does what its suppose to do, very small and cheap but somewhat sturdy plastic. I feel like if you had "real" fat amounts this wouldn't open up enough to actually do the job, not to mention it really doesn't cine with enough info to understand how to fully use and comprehend results.

Michael D. Kelly: I am only reviewing this to let you know that this work as well as any other one I have seen, no better, no worse. I wouldn't reccommend stepping on it though since it is just light weight plastic, you aren't going to damage it using it properly but it isn't made for commercial use. So if price is an issue this one is worth the price.

Greg: I had previously purchased a caliper with a similar but poorer design ( Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester ), and although it is true that this model is relatively flimsy (though you'd have to be pretty rough or clumsy to break it, I think), its design is likely to last longer than the other model. The difference is difficult to describe: the other model used (on the lever where the user's thumb is in the picture) a plastic button that snapped into a hole. Once the user snapped the button into the hole, the user was supposed to stop applying pressure and take the reading. Over time, that plastic button became a little worn and started to snap into place with less resistance. I think it would have continued to wear down and become more inaccurate over time, but I lost it first, hence the purchase of this model.

This model uses the resistance of the lever itself--the user presses on the lever until the line on the lever and a line on one of the pincers line up. In other words, it is not based on the friction of two plastic parts rubbing together (which will eventually cause them to wear down). Although the integrity of the...
