Those style of calipers are pretty reliable and will stand up to surprisingly rough treatment..
I have several from different sources (none from Aldi) for prices from $60 to a freebie given with another purchase. The one thing they have in common is that batteries don't last as long as I'd like.

Don;t bother spending the extra money on silver oxide (SR44) batteries, just get the alkaline ones (LR44). I buy them on eBay, pack of 50 for about $12 delivered.
