5 out of 5 stars Pretty slick!   February 12, 2008
I liked it a lot. It was as accurate as can be expected. A bit hard to administer on oneself, but after a bit you get the hang of it! I really like the tape measure, it is handy for all measurements.


4 out of 5 stars A nice combination to evaluate ones fintness.   January 3, 2008

Two items came in this package.
The first is the Body Fat Caliper.
Initially I found it a little quirky but once you get familiar with the procedure it is very simple to use. It is set up to determine percentage body fat based on three skin fold measurements. If you want to use the more involved seven measurement calculation it displays the caliper reading in millimeters which you can use to manually number crunch. Of course the more involved measurements generally require a second person taking the measurements.
The second item included is the Mayotape.
This is really handy when trying to measure yourself. The end of the tape has a securing point on one side of the handle. As you pull the tape out it will not spool back in until you give it a quick jerk (similiar to positioning a pull down window blind). So you make a big loop that you can put you arm through or put around your chest, give it a jerk and it sucks up around you. Then, simply take the measurement at the edge of the handle. It still requires a little dexterity but alot nicer to use and gives more consistant readings than a loose tape.
It would be nice if the package included a little more information on taking proper measurements but that is what the internet is there for.



1 out of 5 stars It may have been good if it arrived   October 10, 2007

I never had the pleasure to use this device since it never arrived and the vendor made little effort to send me a new one. It arrived at a different location, in a different state, but the seller refused to send me another and made me file a claim for refund through Amazon which was very annoying.


5 out of 5 stars Cheap and effective   July 31, 2007

This was the cheapest body fat caliper measuring system I could find. It seems to be accurate and is easy to use. I feel I get much better results than the body fat measuring scale I was using.


3 out of 5 stars Not a bad deal   July 6, 2007

The digital caliper is nice but you can collect the same data in the same amount of time with a manual caliper and chart. The Myotape is convenient for doing your own accurate measurements.
