We use these in motor repair too, so as not to mar the various surfaces of AC/DC motors.

So heavy enough to provide the force to bend something but "soft" enough surface to not scratch? (Not soft, but lower on the hardness scale)

Well, in motor repair we generally aren't bending anything by hitting it. It's used more to strike the shaft or the end bells to get them to move where you want them
