Care Touch Skinfold Body Fat Caliper Set with Measurement Tape - Monitor Your Body Composition Accurately

M. Wang: This is a good inexpensive tool for the purpose. The real source of error comes from choosing the wrong spot anyway, so spending much more is cost effective. Watching a good professional demonstration is the better way to improve the accuracy.
I find this model bigger than expected. The size probably helps with precision, but also makes it a little unwieldy to use, particularly if taking the measurements on oneself.

hackel: Cheap, cheap, cheap. Measurements are only printed on one side of the tool, making it impossible to read if following the included instructions and measuring with the right hand. Plastic pieces don't line up properly. The springs are ridiculously overpowered, making for very painful, bruise-inducing measurements. I cannot recommend this product, even for $10.

Tara Maladecki: I ordered this mainly for the measuring tape. I had one similar that I used for almost 2 years before it broke. I decided to get the body fat skin calipers too, as I am tracking all my measurements. Everything arrived in a timely fashion. To my surprise the skin calipers are much larger than I expected. They seem to work just fine as far as moving parts. I only rated this 4 stars because the instructions were not easy to understand. The chart was not easy to understand. I had to google instructions on how to take proper measurements. A few days after my order arrived I did get an email from the seller with a better set of instructions and a better chart. I just happened to check my email looking for something else and seen it in there. These instructions should be included in the package with the item, not the ones they put in there now.

Robert: I love the fact that this package came with both the caliper and tape measure...two of the most common ways of monitoring weight lost. It also comes with a guide and multiple charts for assessing body fat percentage.

The only drawback is that as a right-handed person, I have to do some goose-necking to read the numbers after I have taken 45 degree angle caliper measurements, turn it upside-down. This is due to the numbers being on the right side. But these are minor adjustments.

It uses a spring mechanism and does pinch the skin, which can be uncomfortable for some.

Mo: Love the calipers and the awesome measuring tape. The tape makes it so much easier to measure my personal training clients as I'm not fumbling with trying to keep a measuring tape in the right place. The tape it comes with allows you to wrap it around, clip it in place, and the button sucks in the extra measuring tape.
