Default Why do they skip sizes of metric combo wrenches?

Just thought I'd pass along a set I finally picked up From Lowe's.
Father's
day promo through June 30th. Half price @ 19.98.

Sizes 8-19mm EXCLUDING the 9mm.


Can't even beat that at HF for my situation.


Another good deal on a 1/4" socket set. 4-13mm. $4.98:

Just shows that one has to look at what they are buying. *But yes, I have
also noticed that metrics skip sizes in their wrenches, and when you notice
it is when you need that oddball size.


I don't think it's meanness or cheapness, some of the sizes really
aren't all that common. But yes, I have needed all of them at least
up to about 21mm at least at one time or another :/ Because someone,
somewhere needed to be different.
