    Most aldi stuff is fairly good.
    I've not used those calipers but they should be fine for what you want them for, just make sure they slide smoothly.
    I used some different aldi bought calipers once to make parts to a tolerance of +/-0.01mm when times were desperate!

    £8 for a digital very near gauge is pretty good!
    well, if its reasonably accurate anyway.

    Can't see them being any worse than the stuff Planet X sells
