This review is from: Acczilla Personal Body Fat Tester Kit - Includes Fat Caliper and Measure Chart 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.

This review is from: Acczilla Personal Body Fat Tester Kit - Includes Fat Caliper and Measure Chart This item is made of sturdy but thin plastic and will likely break with poor treatment, and will eventually break due to use. For the price however, it functions just fine. You may not get the most accurate results possible, but used in tandem with other methods of measuring body fat percentage (Navy Tape or an electric method) will likely give you the most accurate picture. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Acczilla Personal Body Fat Tester Kit - Includes Fat Caliper and Measure Chart 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. |
