I bought a $10 set of forstner bits from harbor freight, with the intent of using them until they quickly wore out, and replacing them with better ones along the way, but they're such hot garbage that I'm tossing them out as soon as these arrive

Harbor freight is a hit or miss. I've done similarly and at times it felt that I should've put the money I spent at HF towards the better item. Thanks for your input, I'll just skip HF for this item.

....edit....I've been watching the 14-piece set.

I bought their forstner bits from their Hercules brand and they are good and have carbide tips

You'll likely not need another set unless you're drilling holes daily or don't take care of them.
E: That amex offer above 👆 if you're eligible, I would bite on these. Otherwise, get carbide.
It is really nice to have these and a drill press when the need arises.
Since getting my forstner bits, I've only used my spade bits to drill through material that was longer than my forstner bits (and I didn't want to drill from the other side and misalign the holes).
