Craftsman and Kobalt are entirely distinct brands owned by different corporate entities and sold as competing house lines at rival home improvement retailers. Craftsman is owned by Stanley Black & Decker and is prominently featured as a flagship brand at Lowe's, whereas Kobalt is a proprietary house brand owned and distributed exclusively by Lowe's itself, manufactured through various third-party suppliers. Although both brands target similar demographics of DIYers and homeowners with comparable mid-tier pricing and tool categories, their battery platforms, warranties, and internal engineering are completely separate.
