Overview
The WORKPRO W125172A is a corded electric sander drawing 2.5 amps off standard 120V power and spinning at 14,000 RPM. At 2.7 pounds and under 9 inches long, it is sized for one handed sanding on trim, furniture and small repair jobs rather than large flat panels.
Corded design means no battery to charge or degrade over time, at the cost of a trailing cord that limits reach outdoors or on a ladder. WORKPRO does not publish the sanding pattern, orbital, detail or otherwise, in the listing specs, so buyers relying on pad shape or attachment compatibility should confirm those details before ordering.

- 2.5 amp draw

- 2.7 pounds, 8.85 x 5 x 5.7 inches
Who it's for
Suits homeowners and light DIYers tackling touch up sanding, paint prep or small refinishing jobs where a compact, corded tool is convenient. Less suited to contractors sanding large surfaces all day, since higher powered belt or random orbital sanders move more material faster.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Corded power means no battery runtime limits
- Compact 2.7 pound body for one handed control
- 14,000 RPM motor for quick small area sanding
- Cord limits reach and mobility
- Sanding pad type not specified in listing
- Not sized for large flat surfaces
Performance notes
The 14,000 RPM motor spins fast enough for quick material removal on small areas, and the corded 2.5 amp draw gives steady power without runtime limits. At 2.7 pounds it stays maneuverable for one handed use, though the compact body limits how much surface it covers per pass compared with full size sanders.
