I am in a metric country, but I'm sure the principal applies in North America as well.

This is a very common socket kit here. There are many brands, many manufacturers, all are basically the same. The box is very useful, except for one incredible annoyance. The sockets go in 1mm increments from maybe 4 or 5 up to 14mm. No one has ever used the 14mm socket, ever. Why wouldn't they leave it off, and use a 15mm socket in that last place instead?

And, why don't other people ask a questions like this?

Really ? I use a 14mm socket pretty often . In this case , even a
14mm might be too big for the amount of torque that 1/4" can handle .

Really? On what? I live in Germany. I own machines, two cars, and many bicycles. I don't think I've ever used a 14mm socket. It's like 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 19,...
12, 16, 18 once every tenth blue moon maybe, but never 14.


I repair machinery and motorcycles and 14 is very common.
