Editorial Reviews:

Recommended in Body-for-LIFE and endorsed by the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation, Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Testers have gold standard accuracy to within 1.1 percent of underwater weighing results! A clinical study published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research by the National Strength & Conditioning Association sited the following key findings: Self-testing of percent body fat with the Accu-Measure was as accurate as results from multi-site measurements and calculations taken by an experienced clinical investigator using a Lange caliper. Percent body fat calculations with the Accu-Measure were within 1.1 percentage points of underwater weighing results.

Summary: Mediocre tool for assessing body fat
Comment: Assessing your body fat is an accurate method of determining your level of fitness and health.
This caliper is small and convenient. However, there are pitfalls. As you squeeze your skin fold, there is some variability from one measurement to the next due to its light construction. It is not durable over time with repetetive use and I question its validity beyond a 1 year time interval. Mine broke a little over 15 months at the 'hinge' opposite to the slide rule.
Conclusion
It is a portable, small tool for assessing your body composition but its durability over time is questionable (as is its accuracy). Use of the tool has a learning curve for accurate assessment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very happy with this purchase
Comment: Having read the other reviews, I personally am very happy with my purchase.
I have had no problem with the measurments being off. I also used an online calculation system and used other pinch points. However, I ended up with the same ending body fat calcuation I got with the one point the package insert gives direction on.
Not sure if it matters or not as far as how the product works, but I am right at the LEAN/AVERAGE calcuation.
I would recommend it without hesitation.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The price is tempting, but a fair price would be $0
Comment: The device is made of cheap stamped plastic; readings varied more than twenty percent in spite of my most-studious efforts. Please don't waste your money!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for the money
Comment: Its cheap and does what its supposed to. Its a little hard to get used to the feel but once you do it produces systematic results.
Customer Rating:
Summary: accumeasure 2000
Comment: the body fat caliper performs as it should. ease of use would be benefited if measuring scale was easier to read, it is not as distinct as it could be.
