Who makes kobalt tools?

Kobalt tools are currently manufactured by Danaher (June 2009). Kobalt is Lowe's in-house brand of mechanic's tools. Danaher's other brands of mechanics tools include K-D Tools, Matco Tools, Gearwrench, and Craftsman (to name a few, there are more!). Kobalt used to me mfg by Snap-On; not any more!
