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?
There were many responses and comments to this original post back in
Nov.
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:

My snap on set doesn't skip any of them.
My usage certainly doesn't justify $nap-On. It would be dumber than
having consumer brand metric combo set with a missing 9mm.
