Kobalt is Lowes's brand.  They shop it around, like Sears does with
craftsman.  It's my understanding that it's mostly no longer made by
Williams, who are owned *by* Snap-On[1], not the other way around.
The current stuff is junk, so I don't really care.

[1] Snap-On is a huge company, with about 3 billion dollars/year in
revenue.  They do a whole lot more than the guys in the trucks sell.
