Tom,

I have had both.

The metal wrench will nick and dent the knockoff and it will sometimes slip
off the ear.  The wooden one will eventually be pounded apart, usually when
you need it the most.

I discovered the 4 pound plastic dead blow hammer and will never switch.
It stores easily in the trunk, doesn't nick, dent, flatten or mark the
knockoff.  Works great and can be used for other fixes on the car (usually
non electrical stuff).

Fred
