What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this tool set for its exceptional functionality and outstanding value. The hammer's ergonomic design, cushioned handle, and magnetic nail-set head earn consistent acclaim for reducing fatigue and enabling one-handed nail starting. The compact 12-inch pry bar excels in tight spaces, offering strong leverage for baseboards, flooring, and trim removal. Reviewers highlight the multiple nail-pulling configurations and durability under heavy use. Many explicitly call it a remarkable deal that outperforms more expensive alternatives. A few note the pry bar's finish could be improved, but this barely diminishes the overwhelming consensus that it delivers exceptional performance and value.

Perfect for my renovations

Would Recommend

This item is wonderful. I used both the hammer and crow bar to take out some old trim. The hammer has this specific spot you can put a nail (it’s magnetic!) The hammer made taking out the nails on the trim so easy. The crow bar was the perfect size to fit between the wall and trim.

Awesome Set of Tools

Would Recommend

Awesome set of tools. The hammer is just the right weight and the pry bar is really strong and doesn’t flex when prying. I would recommend this set for anyone looking to replace their old or buy new.

Super strong set

Would Recommend

This looks like the beefiest hammer/pry bar set I've ever owned! The grip on the handle is so comfortable, and I really like the grooves in the hammer head to rip nails and screws with.

Pro-Quality Tools

Would Recommend

Pro-grade hammer, right weight, good balance, comfortable grip for all-day use. Extra features like the side nail pulling notch and the magnetic nail holder for one-hand nail starting. Long and powerful claw for pulling tough nails or demo work. The pry bar is similar to another I have and has excellent prying power because of it's short fulcrum length. These tools would be great for finish woodwork as well as rough-in.

Great Tools!

Would Recommend

I like having these tools, and more than one of each is the best. These are well made and work very well. I like the style of the hammer with the side notch. They are great for working around home which is perfect for me. They are heavy weighted and very solidly made. This is a good quality product overall.

Great all around set for every DIY / Homeowner

Would Recommend

Great set for any person doing DIY stuff. This is a great trim hammer and pry bar for all around use. It is a 16oz. so it will be easy to swing and perfect for trim (not a framing hammer) smooth face. It does have a magnetic nail set head and edge nail pull, handy features. The grip is a firm rubberized handle and helps to cut vibration and ease fatigue. The pry bar is a standard 12 inch length and works well (may want to file the edge improve prying in tight edges)

Excellent hammer and pry bar

Would Recommend

I love the Kobalt 16oz Steel Hammer with Prybar.They are forged, one piece steel construction for strength and durability. The slip-resistant handle is great and offers a secure grip and comfort when using the hammer. The magnetic nail starter is a great feature and works very well. The notched nail puller is perfect for stubborn nails. My husband is a contractor and he loves the hammer and pry bar. The tools are very well made and sturdy without being too heavy for me to use.

A Great Demo Kit

Would Recommend

If you are remodeling a home this is a great pair of tools, that will get alot of demolition work done fast. The 16oz Kobalt hammer is an all steel one piece design that has two nail pullers, one on the claw and the other on the top of the hammer. Unlike a wood handle hammer you can get alot more torque while pulling a nail and not worry about breaking the handle. The handle is very ergonomic and with the slight turn and the bottom, the hammer won't slip out of your hands very easily. This is no...

SturdyHammer and Pry bar/Nail Puller

Would Recommend

The hammer and pry bar came packed as a pair. The hammer is a nice size and feels and sits well in your hand. I like that the pry bar/nail remover is thicker and wider than most. I haven’t used it yet but it seem very sturdy and unbendable which is good. Good products.

Really nice hammer and puller set

Would Recommend

This is a really nice hammer. It's well balanced and has a soild, firm grip surface. The magnet for the hands free nail setter is strong enough to easily handle a 10D galvanized and set it fine. They even threw in a flat side puller on the side of the hammer. The extra flat bar puller is a plus for this set. You can never have enough nail pullers.

Awesome basic carpentry tools

Would Recommend

A well made duo of a medium weight(16oz) smooth faced hammer and a 12” pry bar by Kobalt. The hammer has two hidden features that are awesome: a side nail pull, in addition to the claw and a magnetic nail starter. The pry bar gives you three angles of leverage. Both are well balanced and ergonomically designed.

Great tools

Would Recommend

Both of these products are great. They are both very sturdy and well made. They both came in very handy ripping the carpet and carpet pad off my stairs this past weekend.... whoever installed the carpet on the stairs I believe never wanted to it come off because they used way more nails and staples than were needed... the pry bar was soo great at helping me pry the staples up and out or at least pry them up enough for me to grab them with pliers. The hammer has the regular claw part to pry out n...

Makes pulling baseboards easier

Would Recommend

Works great for removing old baseboard. Easier and faster pulling boards than the paint multi tool I started out with. Also used a small thin piece of wood behind the pivot point so that it doesn’t damage the drywall when prying.
