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

Not always in larger sets. But like who would buy an SAE set of any

it ran from say 3/8 to 3/4 without a 9/16?

When's the last time you really needed a 9mm wrench? In the Ansi/ISO
standard there is only 7,8,10,13,16,18,21,24,and 30
The German (Predominantly) DIN standard has only
7,8,10,11,13,17,19,22,24,27, and 30mm
The Japanese (JIS) standard uses only 7,8,10,11,12,14,17,19,and 22.

Someplace someone has slipped in a 15mm, as it is included in some
metric tool sets - so why would you want a 9 mm wrench. It doesn't
even match up to a fractional size, falling between 3/32" and 23/64"

Ummm, wouldn't that be the exact reason that you'd want a particular
size wrench? Nothing else fits!

There was a farmer who had a dog, And Bingo was his name-O. B-I-N-G-O! B-
I-N-G-O! B-I-N-G-O! ...


But there are no 9mm bolts or nuts. If it is "buggered", you'd
probably go after it with something else. Who would make a bolt that
there were no tools for?
