Review: Works great. - I recently decided I wanted a set of these calipers to take some measurements at home. I did a little research on the different types, how to use them, etc.. I ended up seeing this brand in a video and the user highly recommended them. I have never owned or used a pair prior to ordering these, so I can't compare them to any other type, style or brand. The markings on these calipers are clear and easy to read. The "click" feature works really well. It isn't very loud, but it definitely works. The sliding tab that allows you to read your measurement also seems to work really well. In my research before purchasing, I read that until you get comfortable taking your measurement you should take multiple readings from the same spot. This helps ensure accuracy. Based on multiple measurements, I do believe these are pretty accurate. I'm no pro, but I did consistently get the same or very close measurements each time I checked a location. If you are like me and have no experience with body fat calipers I think these are a good place to start. The price is good. Quality is there. And with a little online reading or a couple of YouTube videos, you should be able to take your own measurements in less than an hour after opening the box.
Review: Simple and cheap - SKINFOLD METHOD. This little plastic caliper works great. This brand is pretty much the standard. This is the thing you need to get to measure your body fat before starting a fitness program. Make sure you read the instructions. They are simple but need to be followed and I think what I am telling you here is really going to help you use it. Basically you move a little slider to a high point on the device. The slider moves as you squeeze the caliper until you hear a little click. Then you let it open at the click. Then you look at where the slider moved to. Using that number and a chart they give you you determine your body Fat. Now what might happen if you don't read this and the instructions? You will think the caliper is supposed to stay locked when it clicks, not even realize how the slider works, and clamp down so hard you poke dents in your skin. None of that is supposed to happen, it is so easy! If you happen to be obese using the caliper is a waste of time you need another method. Think, you are pulling your skin out, then measuring the thickness with the little caliper, if you have a very high % body fat it just ain't gona work and you should not be doing some program like the P90 or Insanity series you need to lose weight by first with better eating habits. No soda (any kind) , no sugar, no fast-food, cut-carbs etc etc. Note that is one method to estimate the body fat. You can also do it by simple calculations that you can find online and even a calculator on line. Special scales can do this too. I think this is worth the few dollars because it is easier to see results and keep you motivated, partly because you are actually measure your love handles.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I calculate the body fat percentage after measuring myself with the caliper?**
A: It comes with a chart, but don't trust it. Get yourself dunked for a true body fat%. Calipers said I was 21% but I know I'm around 13.  Dunk said I was 11.2%

**Q: does it come with measure tape? i see other product has it in the picture**
A: No it does not come with measure tape

**Q: How many skinfold sites are pinched and added together for this device? Most good ones use 4: bicep, tricep, superiliac, subscapular.**
A: There is only one site on the instructions but you'll get great results with this caliper and the Linear Body Fat Calculator app (I think its free).

**Q: I can't seem to get a constistant measurement . I get everything from 11-21% body fat . What spot is the easiest to measure ?**
A: There was a good tutorial online I found when I typed in the model and "how to use." Basically use the "jaws" to measure right of the inside of your belly button, then pinch "jaws" wide up and down from that point.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful for one-handed measurement, accurate enough for home use
*by A***C on August 3, 2022*

Context: I am a adult male, 5' 10", ~175lb, with about 10% body fat. I've been tracking my physical measurements for about five years now, just to keep tabs on things. Since I have low body fat and high muscle mass, BMI isn't a great indicator of healthiness, so instead I've been using the Navy body fat formula -- BF% = 86.010 x log10 (waist - neck) - 70.041 x log10 (height) + 36.76 -- for measurements in inches, or -- %BF = 495 / ( 1.0324 - 0.19077 * log10( waist - neck ) + 0.15456 * log10( height ) ) - 450 -- for centimeters. This has given me consistent and what seem to be reliable results, +/- 3%, but it is sensitive to small changes in measurement (i.e. 1/8" variance is equal to about 0.3% BF) and I wanted to test the outcome against a second method to see if they were accurate in addition to being precise. Use: The Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 calipers are easy to use; they have a simple, functional design which will work for most people. The way it works is that the calipers have a slider, which you reset before the measurement. When you take the measurement, you squeeze the caliper together - thus pushing the slide along its rail - until the tab of the little arm clicks into its socket. When you release the pressure, the caliper returns to its open state, but the slide stays put, and you can read the measurement off the rail. All the calipers do is measure the thickness of the skin-fold inserted between the caliper pads, in millimeters. An included chart allows you use that measurement to estimate your body fat %. You can take one measurement - at the suprailliac (supra-illiac) right above the hip-bone, or four from the suprailliac, abdomen, triceps, and thigh, or even more, and use a calculator online to determine body fat % from that. You should probably take the measurement before any exercise or meals, to reduce the possibility of interference from transient factors. Review: I found the calipers very easy to use, though it is still tough to take some measurements without a partner. The suprailliac is easy, as is the abdomen and the thigh, but the triceps is tricky, as is the subscapular measurement on the back. Also, while this is still usable for someone with my body fat content, it's already a little marginal. Taking one suprailliac measurement returned a bf% of 11%, but taking four returned 8%, and a different four returned 5%, which is definitely wrong. So you need to take a few measurements and average them out. If you watch a couple videos on the subject, you'll understand how it works very quickly. The slider/rail system, paired with the click-arm, means you can get consistent results and takes a lot of the guess work out of use. So I think I'd recommend this for general BF% tracking, maybe in conjunction with the Navy formula, which is easier to calculate for oneself.
