Ha!  Got one the other day, hadn't looked in it yet.  Claimed 3.8
amps on twelve volt setting IIRC.  Second what Edward says
about  Aldi stuff.  I hope some people picked up the 6" digital
calipers they had a month or two back -- unlike the recent HF ones
they retain their reading when shut off.

Yours,
David
