Default Why do they skip sizes of metric combo wrenches?

A rusty 17mm nut may need the next size up wrench in order to be able to fit it, I've had this happen, its not bad idea to have those odd size wrenches


How often has it happened? Started using metric tools about 1970 and
have not needed one yet so I see no reason to buy a tool I don't ever
need. Use an adjustable or pipe wrench once every 10 years that you
need it. Be sure to get a metric adjustable .
