Drill holes for cords/cables, door knobs/deadbolts...
Drill holes for pipes for bathroom vanity. Diy sou vide cooler. Maybe drill a hole through your phone case to fit your popsocket. Probably need larger size for ceiling recessed lighting.

Yea, mostly find the traditional cement kind, often w/ brick/masonry behind it. Been using that Dewalt carbide set from Ace for the smaller stuff, thx
.
Yes, the core bit is not much help with brick/masonry behind, but is easier on the stucco that when old, can be fragile. We do a lot of work in the SW that has a lot of stucco and for small holes, use one size up for the core hole through stucco and then switch to a regular SDS plus masonry bit.
I am interested in this kit. Would a 12v Milwaukee Fuel Hammer Drill be up to the task of drilling holes with this kit?
.
Sure, watch this video[milwaukeetool.com]. Since these bits are bi-metal and not carbide percussion, I would put in straight drill mode and initially start slow. Depending on what is being drilled, the larger bits may/will require a light touch, as in patience. The bit hex shafts also fit most impact drivers.

I also have the 12V Fuel Impact driver as well. I bought the set. I thought you needed the hammer drill, didn't think you could use the impact as well.

Bi-metal bits were never used on hammer mode, but hammer modes have changed to be more of a vibration on smaller tools --- not as abrupt as on larger, or SDS types that all use carbide cutter bits. Not sure which impact you have, but if your impact came as a kit with the drill and has 4 speed modes, I would use or start on Mode 1, or lowest speed for most torque, but either will work. If you run on high speed from a gearbox mode (not variable trigger speed) not only do you lose torque, but if something catches on say that 3" hole saw bit, something may break.
Personally, I like this Milwaukee13 pc set[homedepot.com]when on sale for same/similar price. It has two less pilot bits, 2 more hole saws, but does not include the 3" that may or may not be needed. The pilot bits are common 1/4" jobber bits and not much value compared to hole saws. There are plenty of other sets, but the OP set is the deal today that comes around often enough.
Mine just arrived and the one is way out of round. Horrible quality control. OOS so I can't send back and get another. I guess I'll call HD CS and see if they can hook me up with something similar for the same price. Keeping my fingers crossed.
