Can’t find much info on cromal but the part number lines up with Williams.
Also the very original kobalt was made by Williams. I’ve got sets of those too. Never had a failure.

Original Kobalt tools were fantastic, every bit as good as Mac/Matco/Cornwell and very close to Snappy. Its really sad how Lowe's has dumbed them down to just another throwaway.

I bought a set of Kobalt wrenches 30 years ago. Picked them because they would clean up easy like SnapOn did. They're still good as new and I believe the only one I've lost and replaced is the 10mm.
Disappointing to hear the quality has dropped off.
