Default Why do they skip sizes of metric combo wrenches?

SAE. One of my 14mm open end wrenches from one company is 14.5mm, and
one from another company is 14.25mm. If you have a pair of inside
calipers, and more than one brand of wrenches, check it yourself.


Sounds like a quality issue. It's been my experience, Japan makes a
lotta great stuff. Mechanics tools are not among them. Use a
Japanese 14.25mm open-end wrench a few times and it WILL become 14.5!
