Overview
Running on 120 volts at 4.2 amps, the Makita GV5010 spins at 5000 RPM in a 2.4 pound corded body built for handheld sanding work.
At under two and a half pounds, the GV5010 sits on the lighter end of corded sanders, which points toward extended handheld use without the fatigue of a heavier tool. No pad size or disc diameter is listed, so match it against your existing sanding discs before ordering.
- 120 volt corded electric power
- 4.2 amp motor draw
- 5000 RPM sanding speed
- 2.4 pound tool weight
Who it's for
Fits users who want a lightweight corded sander for finish work where extended hand use matters. Less suited to anyone who needs stated pad diameter or dust collection details up front, since neither is in the listing.
Pros and cons
- Lightweight at 2.4 pounds for extended handheld control
- Corded design avoids battery runtime limits
- Pad or disc size not specified
- No dust collection details listed
Performance notes
Running on standard 120 volt household power at 4.2 amps, the motor spins at a fixed 5000 RPM. The 2.4 pound weight keeps arm fatigue down during overhead or extended sessions, a meaningful factor for finish sanding where control matters more than raw stock removal.
