HF Warrior Titanium Drill Bit Set, 29 Pc. ($9.99 in store but shipping avail)
$9.99
This is HF's Black Friday sale, and I picked up 2 more of these in store (my store had plenty when I was there). Some of HF's coupon-less deals are not quite as great anymore, however, I own a couple sets of these bits and $10 seems like a steal to me for the quality. Even the case/bit organizer is really nice.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
High speed steel titanium drill bits run cooler, drill smoother and last up to three times longer than your standard drill bit set. The titanium coating protects the steel bit for extended performance. The drill bit set features regular 118° tips for drilling in wood, metal, plastic and most other materials.

I still assume most of the stuff harbor freight sells, is just cheap Chinese junk, but I'm going on 20yrs now with my $49 harbor freight bench vise and 18 yrs with my $80 harbor freight 8" bench grinder, neither gets used a lot but they are both still working. The Bench Grinder has never been very good, but it's been serviceable. The Bench Vise has been great, and I expect it to last at least another 20yrs. The point being, there's still some potential good values to be had at Harbor Freight, this seems like one of them. As long as you get a couple holes out of every bit, you got a pretty good deal for 10$. If you get less than a couple holes, this deal sucks, if you get more bit longevity it's a great deal.

Below average bits at the best and that's being generous.

M2 grade HSS is good, better than other low end HSS (for instance ive seen Skil and ToolShop from menards, and a few others use 4241 grade HSS which is really bad)
If the cutting edges are ground well, they can perform well for the price.
The huge problem is, the quality control for HF is horrendous. There is a large portion of my drill bits that were ground poorly. Some were not even deburred before they coated them.
Good for the price, but they are priced this way for a reason.
Just understand there will 100% be bits in your set that will be ground poorly and not drill metal, that have uneven grinds which will oval out and oversize your holes (or snap your bit), some will just be straight up blunt out of the box.
Regrind the crappily made bits with a drill doctor (or other sharpener) and youll be golden.

These bits are great for the price. They're so inexpensive, I keep a set in the case with one of my portable drill just so I always have them. At 29 bits, its a very complete set... and if you read the thousands of comments on HF's website, most are very positive... and those people actually bought the bits.
HF does sell some decent bits.... try the M35 cobalt setssuch as this one [harborfreight.com]. Not great out of the box, but once touched up/sharpened, they are decent bits worthy of the cost.
PS: Anytime you whine about down votes, you are going to get more... so stop with the begging. The confident real experts could care less about recognition, let alone the politics being played more and more on this site.
