:Wazza for da plastic :-)

Plastic faced hammers are useful for stricking all sorts of finished
parts. They dont' scratch, and they're less likely to dent a piece if
you hit it with the edge ofthe hammer. I've used them on paint lids,
copper pipe fittings, metal electrical boxes, and a ratchet. That's
just the last couple of days. Lots of uses on cars, too.
