Sequoia Fitness TrimCal 4000 Body Fat Caliper (White) by TrimCal 4000

The product is made from robust plastic. It will help me monitor my fat level, providing extra quantitative feedback. Edit: after my first uses, an improvement would be able to read the measures from the back side too. It also takes practice to achieve more stable measures; at the beginning, I was not pinching enough fat! Adjust jour technique until you get the largest thickness without pinching muscles.

Using it, it pinches the skin, leaving red marks and also leading to inaccurate measurements. I should have shelled out for a more expensive one that doesn't act like a sfw medieval torture device.Edit: I received a notice from the seller saying that my issues with this device could be ameliorated by removing one of the springs. I removed one of the springs and this did improve things. I'm only increasing my review by one star though, since it took way too long to remove one of the springs. I tried pulling at it with pliers, disassembling the device, spraying it with WD-40. Eventually I used a pair of wire cutters to cut through the spring, Alexander the Great style. It shouldn't be that difficult to make this thing useable. I would still recommend people buy a different one just from the sheer hassle involved in getting this to work properly.

I’ve used calipers in the past but they were never painful. The spring on these is so tight that it hurts to use.Would not buy again.
