Where the two actually differ on the specs we track (5 of 8). Matching specs are omitted.
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Only one whitelisted tester (Pro Tool Reviews) covers the G12SR4, and it appears in a corded slide-switch lineup overview, not a hands-on lab test (the outlet did not test the tool). PTR frames it as the range's most budget-friendly pick at $39, bundled with five abrasives and a carrying case, and lists the manufacturer specs (980W, 10,000 RPM, 4 lbs). No outlet published tester-measured performance data. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Range's most budget-friendly pick at $39, bundled with five abrasives and a carrying case.
