Works as well as light gauge steel strings should.

Are these nickel free?

The package it self says the strings are made from high carbon steel wire. No indications to nickel at all.

Do these work decent for drop c and drop b?

I play in D standard, drop C , C# standard and they stay in tune just fine. There’s a period of adjustment (stretching) like any string. But they stay in tune well. And they don’t break nearly as often. Used to break strings @ the bridge but these don’t. I would go up a gauge for drop B for sure. But these are all I use for all my guitars (they make acoustic strings too)

How many packs of stings do you get? I can get two for this amount at sweetwater!

All D'Addario's are available as single sets or in 3 packs. You didn't indicate the price. Single sets are $10.99 : 3 packs are $31.76. I don't use this set. I use Pro Steel .08's which I find too bright for general use.
