Default Why do they skip sizes of metric combo wrenches?

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 never used, or needed a 9. 10 and 11 is very common. 16's are
often missing also, a greater chance of needing that then a 9.

There is nothing magic in having one of every whole number. I'd
rather have an extended range than interim sizes I will never need.
