While a task like sanding is simple for some, those with limited construction experience may struggle with the tool, which is why the 'Level Sander' by designer Lee Seung Hyeop was introduced, offering beginners a user-friendly alternative to traditional construction equipment.
The trick to using a sander is applying the right amount of force, as pressing too hard or too soft results in unsatisfying consequences. To ensure users are applying the right amount of pressure, the Level Sander features a LCD display that indicates the magnitude of force that's needed. Nine bars ranging in colors from red to green inform the user of how much pressure is applied, helping one get comfortable testing out a variety of sanding techniques as they go.
