Sequoia Fitness Trimcal 4000 Body Fat Caliper with Body Measure Tape & Fat% Chart (White & Black), 1.0 Count

Decent set of calipers to measure body fat percentage. Works well if you are not looking for extremely accurate data but just want to know a close approximation.

Great calipers with a spring so you can take your own measurements.

Glad I spent the extra $6-8 and went with this gun-style over the cheaper handheld pinch-style click one. This one seems much more repeatable.Saw someone else moaning about the chart being inaccurate... no surprise. Body fat measurements are known for being subjective/ranging from one test to another. And why bother limiting yourself to a crummy formula from a budget made in China product.I used the easy calculator over on the "linear software" website. (Just google 'linear software body fat' and it's the first result).They offer 6 different formulas, and short videos demonstrating where to measure (click 'chest;, 'abdominal', 'thigh', etc. to watch the corresponding video).I made a few measurements at each body location (to collect 2 data sets of what I thought was representative of a low estimate, and a high estimate), and plugged each set of numbers into the calculators, and averaged the results of the 6 formulas offered. Got a range of x%-x%, (a 2% range), which was in line with my guess based on looking in the mirror & comparing to popular consensus pictures.I mean if you're not willing to do that then keep on being fat. The calipers aren't going to eat less for you. Youtube "Body Fat Test Comparison: Hydrostatic, Skin Fold, DEXA Scan, BIA" by Alan Thrall & get a better understanding of why different assessments give different results, and that the $13 tool is just meant to be used as a quick, easy, cheap, way to track/monitor/adjust your progress towards being more or less fat.*the pair I received are a little inaccurate. They read about 1.5mm too low.That is to say: real world 5mm/10mm/15/20/50 corresponds to 3.5mm/8.5/13.5/18.5/48.5 on these plastic calipers.I verified up to 50mm. They still seem useful for collecting repeatable measurements over time to track trends.I also scratched the white paint off of the pointer arm/indicator arm with a razor blade, and replaced it with a sliver that I cut off of a white shipping label. It is thinner and makes the measurements more precise & repeatable.I've been using this for ~3 months now 2-3x/month and I think it'll hold up for years. If I had to do it again, I'd check prices for a digital recording style that would make back measurements easier to take solo. My assumption is that the cost of a decent pair is more than that convenience is worth to me.

Works well for when you need to show your doctor that their chart is wrong!! Haha!!! Only complaint is that it still revealed I’m fat and need to lose weight..easy to use and durable

I wanted a second way to measure my body fat percentage and was happy to find that both methods agree. That gives me more confidence in both.

I just tested my body fat percentage and I can say it's accurate and easy to use!

These calipers do their job. Pinch your skinfolds to measure your subcutaneous fat. In that role, they do great. I'm able to measure down to 0.5 mm precision. The only variation is when I pinch a skinfold in a different location. Incredibly repeatable day-on-day. If you have problems with the resulting body fat result, then it's the original equation you have a problem with, not the measurement tool. There is a better equation that was developed based on DEXA measurements. It adds 8% to my results and is more believable.

These calipers are accurate and easy to use! The tape measure is an added awesome tool as well that I use to measure my clients inches! I highly recommend this product!
