Rather crappy description!
This sounds like 2 hammers sicnce there are 2 measurements :"12 in. Hammer + 4 lbs. 16 in. Sledge Hammer"
The picture also shows 2 identical hammers?

The worded item description only seems to indicate (to me) that there is one hammer.

The vise is listed as "general purpose bench vise" but there is bullet that says "Fits a standard 2 in. hitch"
Doesn't look like a receiver mounted vise to me?

Without knowing, I would have bought one anyway, but sold out. If someone gets it, post up what you actually receive, or a picture.

Generic picture but the description seems pretty clear to me:
6.5" vise
12" Hammer
4lb, 16" Sledge

This has got to be an error. They are selling a very similar combo for nearly 4x the price: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bash-6-...h-10-lbs-Head-JPW-11128BH-JPW-21036/315507724

There are a couple other similar combo's available elsewhere but nowhere near the same deal:

Just received the set. Not a great deal after all.

The vise is cheaply made and finished like I expected.

There is no 16 inch sledge hammer!! Wtf Home Depot?

I may end up returning or selling it.

And yeah, I don't know why the link has redirects.

I have that vise mounted in my work truck. I hate it! It's a POS.

A machinist friend of mine has that vise on a bench. It is so bad he only uses it to clamp tool holders when loading his CNC machines---and it keeps coming loose virtually in seconds while tightening screws. Total garbage.

I think I have that hammer- or one similar. And I believe I paid more than $57 for it. It is nice, but you didn't get what you thought...

My vise was delivered yesterday with only one 12” hammer. I was about to contact Home Depot to see if they’d give a partial refund but another package showed up today with the 16” 4lb hammer. They’re nice hammers and worth the $57 alone, the vice is a bonus. Thanks to Stuart at Toolguyd.
