The Swagman Trailhead 4-Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Non-Folding # S63381 will require a small socket set for initial assembly and installation. There are two bolts that require installation and then checking the already installed bolts for secure hold. Then the threaded hitch pin will also require a wrench or socket.
There are really minimal tools required and it is an easy assembly, but the tools are not included. There are no special, uncommon tools required.
This is a very sturdy rack that is rated for vehicle or RV use. I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 for any step through frames to allow you to carry the bikes level. I also recommend the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 2" Shanks # S64030 to lock and secure both the rack and the bikes.
