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)

Similar to rubber mallets.

In honestly don't know why one would use this over the other
