You're an idiot. First off, there are ZERO 115 volt circuits here.
Secondly, everything that runs on standard AC that relates to raw power is declared in Amps.
Look at vacuum cleaners, and the hand drill.
Anything that competes with other makers that runs on a motor, competes with each other over how fast or how strong or how well it can do the job.
A dremel tool talks about top rotational speed as that is more important than shaft torque.
Drills and vacuum cleaners refer to the amperage of the motor.
So, YES it DOES mean EVERYTHING about how much power it has in a world where the source voltage is known.
