Kobalt has a reputation as a decent brand among the lower to mid-priced options. Kobalt is generally only available at the chain Lowe's.
I called Kobalt directly and they said they have many vendors that make their tools. They said if you give them a specific item # they can tell you who made it.
No, they are made in China and Taiwan.

The winner of the 2009 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard was Jimmie Jhonson in the Lowe's/Kobalt tools Chevy Monte Carlo.
There are many different definitions to "best" when it comes to tools. Large hardware stores such as Home Depot and Lowes have a huge selection of tools for any job. Lowes and Sears offer lifetime warranties on their hand tools of Kobalt and Craftsman brands respectively, so you know you are protected in your purchase.
