This is the 3rd body fat testing device I have purchased. The other two: Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale and FatTrack Gold Digital Body Fat Caliper - 1 pc,(AccuFitness) have been used for some time and I wanted to add this manual one to see if perhaps digital, at least in this case, is not the way to go. I've kept records of my digital readings and when I took my measurements at the same time as the others with the Accu-Measure manual calipers I found that the manual reading was 2% less than the digital ones. I retook all the measurements 3x's and came up with the same results.
What does this mean? For me it means I'm going to go with this one. While seeing the digital readings is very cool (sometimes disappointing, but cool...), I'm not convinced they are the most accurate. Then again, if I'm losing another 2% when I use the manual calipers... why wouldn't I want to use this one?!
In this package you get the calipers and a MyoTape tape measure which allows you to lock the tape measure in place for more accurate readings. Very easy to use and read. You also get a 5x7 card with two body fat % measurement charts (one for men and one for women), measurement tips and an explanation of how to use the calipers with step-by-step directions.
NOTE: it is recommended by the makers of this product that if you are obese, you should not take skinfold measurements. They suggest using the tape measure instead. The one included in this package goes up to 60".
Overall, I think this is a good buy. Easy to use, accurate, inexpensive and a device that I will use for years to come.

This set is a great way to get started monitoring your percentage of body fat. It's not the best quality caliper, but it definitely works well enough to track your weight loss progress. The Myo Tape however is great! It's easy to use, and works well. If you buy this set, be sure to go online and download better body fat charts and tips on measuring. The one chart that comes with this set is a little too basic to give you an accurate percentage.

Definately worth the price!
The caliper is all plastic and should be treated with care, but if used properly is very accurate and easy to use.
The myotape is awesome! I was not planning on buying the myotape, it just came with the calipers, but when i got it and used it, it was amazingly simple and brilliant. I can measure arms, forearms, calves, thighs, waist and chest in about 60 seconds, as where before it would take 10 minutes to take all those measurements.
At just under $10 this combo is unbeatable.

Good product, but needs better instructions
The calipers seem good and the tape measure is easy to use, but the instructions weren't all that helpful for measuring body fat. The price was right, though. I would buy it again.

The caliper is sometimes hard to set up but the tape is great. Actually use the tape more often. Recommend it.

Measuring Tape ripped 5 seconds after opening it. I barley got to use it on myself before the Myotape end ripped off!

simple and easy to use
It is a tape after all, no not much can go wrong - I like it has inch and cm, and the system to block in position is great for the difficult measurements

MyoTape Yes - Calipers - No way.
The MyoTape works well, but these are the lousiest, most flimsy calipers ever. Never an accurate reading and very difficult to use.

CHEAP!
You pay for what you get. The caliber is made of such a cheap plastic that the lock doesn't work. Flimsy.
