This set, with DeWalt, were
Project Farm's best rated drill bit multi pack [youtu.be]. He ranked it best for cutting through hardened steel - even over the DeWalt set. It was also the most expensive set he tested (it was $40 at the time he tested it in 2019). You don't see many discounts on these, but this is one of Amazon's lowest prices, ever, according to the Camel.
EDIT -- Thanks to
PapaSpoof for the heads up re the $5 off $25 Amazon deal on Bosch bits (it pops up automatically in your cart during checkout - no coupon code or check box needed).

ADD NOTE - Project Farm also rated this
7 pc Bosch Masonry bit set [amazon.com] one of its top 4 performing choices (
see YouTube video here [youtu.be]). In the video he advises to buy which ever one is the best deal since they all performed so well. At $19.97, it's the lowest price of any of the top 4 masonry bits - and if you buy 2 sets, you can get 2 for $34.94 (about $17 a set).

As far as the bits...
Its not a bad deal at all. Great starter set of bits. Its probably the better option for "Big Box" brand bits out there... just don't expect miracles. After all, tool manufacturers aren't known for their accessories. And @burntorangehorn is correct. It's best to be used in a drill press.

Other than that they cut well if used properly.
Oh, the -$5 must be getting applied at check-out?
DEWALT Cobalt Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) [amazon.com]
$28.99 on Amazon
Doesn't have the 1/2 inch size and is M35 (vs M42 for the Bosch)--
1/16 - 2 of these
5/64
3/32
7/64
1/8 - 2 of these
9/64
5/32
3/16
7/32
1/4
5/16
3/8
So slightly different drill bit mix (but maybe better if you need the smaller sizes), but the M42 is a higher cobalt percentage and Bosch includes the 1/2 inch - and it's a better price. So thumbs up on this Bosch deal!
