Sequoia Fitness TrimCal 4000 Body Fat Caliper (Black)

If you're looking to use body calipers and don't have a huge budget these are great. Unlike the cheaper and shorter plastic calipers these actually have a decently accurate dial on the back and the pincher style makes it much easier to take measurements in patients with lower body fat. They're light and kinda feel cheap but I've used it for a while and it hasn't broken and gives repeatable results

The plastic mold for the clamps makes it so there's a nice rough line of uneven plastic going straight down the middle of both the clamps. It digs into your skin and scratches instead of evenly distributing the weight. The chart provided looks ai generated, the age range on the top jumps forwards and back in numbers instead of just progressing, some ages are represented twice while others simply don't exist anywhere on the chart. Also the device is completely inaccurate and doesn't stop at a certain pressure like calipers i've used in the past. I'm not 4% bodyfat and I did follow the instructions properly.

These calipers give very consistent results for skinfold measurement, which is the most important thing for any caliper to do. Even if you aren't skilled with calipers, so long as you remain consistent in how you use them, you can get meaningful information from them, even if the numbers are all wrong. If your goal is to drop subcutaneous fat then all you really need to concern yourself with is how much your skin fold measurements change over time. If the measurements are decreasing, then you're on the right track, and if they're not....well...you probably need to change something. And for those who are trying to get absolute body fat measurements: While calipers like these aren't the most accurate means of measuring body composition, they do a good job for what you pay for them. The more accurate means available are very costly. This is especially true in my case, as I have a lot of water weight from kidney disease, which makes other common and inexpensive methods (such as BIA) practically useless because the percentage numbers are skewed heavily in favor of the water content, making i.e. fat and muscle percentages look lower than they actually are.

Not even close to accurate. Based on my educated guess of my own body fat, this read half that percentage. Not accurate enough to even get a guess at body fat. Also only measures three locations based on their directions and a more accurate tool would use at least 4-5 locations.

Good quality
