Compared to Ryobi what? I have this set from a few years ago - not bad but not great. Most of my Ryobi things are much lower quality however. Just depends on what you are looking for.

Have have set for maybe 6 years now. Light use drilling over the years and it's done a decent job. Don't have more premium drill bits to compare to, but it's done fine for house stuff and pre drilling into wood

Got this Bosch set a year or two ago on a similar deal and have been pleased with it. The countersink bit and right angle adapter are atypical in a kit like this and nice to have on hand.

I have found all of the inexpensive brands/sets to be more or less the same. I have several Ryobi bit sets and have no issues with them. Would I use either Bosch or Ryobi bits every day as a professional? Probably not unless I knew I needed sacrificial bits, but for non-daily use these sets are just fine.

The extra spade bits in the $8 Ryobi kit are nice since it's easy to burn through bits like that if drilling lots of holes for running wires through old hard joists.

I have had this set for a few years now, works well but my only knock would be that the smaller bits are kind of a pain to get in and out of the grey plasticy/rubber holders.

I'm not sure why people are asking about the quality and how it compares to other brands. It's $10 for 41 pieces... it's obviously not made for heavy duty tasks, but great for a homeowner for its versatility.
