Default Why do they skip sizes of metric combo wrenches?

Be it Sears, HF, HD, etc.

They often go 6,7,8,10,11,12...

Not always in larger sets. But like who would buy an SAE set of any size if
it ran from say 3/8 to 3/4 without a 9/16?


I've only seen this in combo MM, SAE sets
With the missing MM having the same size in SAE
5/32 is 0.156 inches; 4mm is 0.157 inches
5/16 is 0.313 inches. 8 mm, is 0.315
and The 3/8 wrench is the same as 10 mm.
but 10 mm is very common and is normally included

Spud

3/8" and 10mm are not close enough to be useable. 11mm and 716" are.
