For the money, I recommend the OP and why I posted it. If you want to spend more, you have lots of options with the better Hanson, Triumph, even Drill Hog is not bad in the better Cobalt content. We have been a Triumph dealer for decades, so I am a bit partial, but seriously, the OP set are decent bits for general usage. Nothing the matter with Bosch for general usage, but they start about 3 times the price of the OP and maybe a bit cleaner hole, not any better for longevity or speed.
Maybe the best place to save money, especially if using higher quality, is to sharpen your own bits. My Dad was a tool and die maker, so he also sharpened bits by hand that would keep him busy during the winter months (and away from Mom). So yea, I can also sharpen bits by hand, but we were accumulating a couple 5 gallon buckets of dull bits annually. So, I broke down and bought a DrillDoctor 750 to sharpen bits and surprisingly, with a little practice for equal sides, it does a decent job; even with split points.

Great info OP, however the reviews I'm reading are talking about a bait and switch, and also about the fact that these bits are not the ones on some other website that are very positively reviewed. Any thoughts on this?

Same bits with the OP coated on the exterior of flutes with titanium or similar for a little cleaner hole than just the black oxide that is not bad. For $10, try them and if you don't like them, there are free returns. Not making a dime for posting, I think they are decent bits and a deal for the money, but don't expect industrial quality.
The bits are okay, but I'm altering a few of÷ these into brad points (which is bit tedious, but it'll be better than the brad points everyone sells).
I just suppose fewer people use them these days.
Brad point is fine for wood, but split point is better for metals and especially for harder metals such as stainless, nickel, etc. But, I suppose if someone was drilling a lot of harder metals, they would not be checking out these box store brands and would be over at McMaster-Carr to check out some titanium nitride coated carbide bits that start at about $60 each for just a 1/4" in stub length.

Yes, that sucks, but there are no made in the USA even close to this price range. Most all of the battery and corded consumer tools are now made in China, or the components are and shipped to the USA for assembly.

Makes sense. Rereading it looks like people were fired up because previously these bits were fully black oxide coated and were well reviewed around the net, so those reviewers must have been buying at the time when they were switching it, and probably hadn't fully updated the listing yet.
Viking/Norseman is arguably the ultimate, made in the USA, and you can usually find small sets for reasonable prices. There are some other excellent brands as well, but unfortunately Dewalt isn't even close to being one of them. I keep some disposable bits, including Dewalt, around the house, but not for anything that needs to be done well.

The value is in the three larger bits (5/16, 3/8 and 1/2) over the cheaper $6 set that stops at 1/4".
There are better bits, but they also cost a lot more. And there are bits for a similar price that are absolute junk.

Made in the USA, to boot
