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.

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.
I would also agree that the HF Cobalt35 bits [harborfreight.com] are great for the price if you can touch them up.
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.
The $115 Chinese-made cobalt set in 1/64 incremental steps is a ridiculous comparison. Seriously, who, other than a machinist is going to want that many small bits in 1/64 increments? You really even bothered to bring that up in a post on 29 bits for $10? If you think that's a deal, then by all means post it.
Finally, save me the patronizing lectures... nobody is begging for anything. If you don't like a deal, then move on. If you don't like it, move on and don't thumb it up, but to down vote it... really? Also, if you're such a "confident real expert," then why don't you post some of your own deals - "tool deals?" As I recall, when you posted a deal and people complained about YOUR deal, you spent half the thread criticizing everyone that said anything negative. People in glass houses shouldn't throw rhetorical stones.
Was it ever one?
As for your question, if it's priced lower than what it's normally selling for. then yes it's a deal. Whether someone likes the product or not is a side issue

As far as "mediocre deal posts" - is that supposed to be a shot at me? I've posted 33 FP Deals, alone (*edit - 34... see today's FP for reference). I really don't care if somebody doesn't like this deal... it's almost half off from a store that already sells items at a discount. HF sells a ton of these drill bits, so I know it's a good deal. It's just funny when people down vote things for ridiculous reasons. I think you know very well what I'm talking about, because I've seen you attack people that have posted negative comments on your own deal postings.
Finally, if you want to torch a deal, then provide an alternative! HilmDaisy has posted 2 deal in 7 years - both were turds, and now he's going to lecture me? Again, if you've got a better deal on drill bits, let's see it. Your Project Farm link gave top awards to Bosch drill bits - great... only, there are half as many bits, for twice the price. It's like posting a deal on a Toyota Camry and somebody linking a video of how much better the Mercedes E Class is... uhmmm, yeah, they're not really competing in the same price class, are they?
Bummer!

The bits are junk, you cannot buy online for pick up in store at a later date and making a special trip during the short sale to save a few dollars is akin to driving across town to save 5cents/gallon of gas. I know, I know, being practical is not allowed....
