I'm a car mechanic and as you may know, car interiors are now more plastic than metal. This hammer is great for pounding plastic parts after they've been removed for repairs. It's lightweight, the white color indicates when it needs cleaning to keep particles out of its work pieces, and it also won't scratch or scrape plastic internals unless foreign objects, for example, crash into the plastic due to metal strikes. For my needs this hammer is perfect, well made and affordable. You can't ask for more from a tool.
