  • Size and Weight of G100

    Hi All

    I've been trying to get a G100 in the UK but the price to ship from the US is

    Never having seen a G100 in the metal can anyone tell me if it would be practical for me to carry it home when I am in the US next week in my hand luggage

    If so does anyone happen to know if there is a stockist in Naples Florida 34108. Failing that I may get Meguiars to send to the Hotel.

    Many thanks for your advice

    This is from Porter-Cables web site:

    Power
    120 VAC, 50-60 HZ/120 VDC

    Motor Amps
    3.7

    No-load Speed
    2,500-6,000 RPM

    Spindle Thread Size
    Accepts 5/16 - 24

    Gear Drive
    Spiral Bevel

    Wheel/Pad Size
    6"

    Length
    11 1/2"

    Net Weight
    5 3/4 Lbs.

    Shipping Weight
    6 1/4 Lbs.

    Porter Cable makes the G100A for Meguiars.

    I would think it would be practical, you may have to toss the box in the garbage but you could pack the G100 in with your clothing. It is not all that big.

        Hey,

        You should have no problems at all with carrying the G100 with you on to the plane! It is not heavy and its physical size makes it easy to fit into a small bag!!

            If you cannot find the G100 try Lowes home improvement, storeThey cary the Porter-Cable 7336.

            They are all over the East coast and in the Boston area.

                I had a friend from the US bring mine over for me, he put it in his suitcase not his hand luggage and had no problems. He also brought over for me a 50ft extension cable, #83, #80 4 ultimate bonnets, 2 backing plates and about 12 pads.

                I don't think you'll have any problems bringing one back!
