I know not what HD is, but Sears? I guess it's like food. Keep the
price the same and decrease the amount. OTOH, you get what you pay
for. Try a better brand, like K-D. I've yet to see any skipped sizes
in their line-up. I haven't needed to buy any new tools in a awhile,
so don't know who is currently screwing the customer.

I do know one thing. Almost all metric sizes will fit any SAE size
fastener, although perhaps a bit loose or tight. I doesn't work the
other way around. If you can only afford one std, get metric.
