Use Plastic to Make Hammering Safer

A hammer is one of the most useful tools any DIY lover could have, but it's also one of the most dangerous. It's incredibly easy to miss a nail and hammer your finger instead, which is why it's always a good idea to put extra measures in place to keep yourself safe. And one of the best ways to do this is to use some old plastic you have lying around the house.
