I usually am not very fond of harbor freight tools unless I'm getting something I know is a throwaway, but I'll have to say I have been impressed with some of the drill bit sets I have gotten there. Not all of them though. That big set in a metal case with all the fractional and letter sizes for about forty bucks is surprisingly good.

I use an iPhone app to figure metric conversion.
