Subject: Why no 18 mm Sockets or Wrenches in Standard Metric Sets


Dear Paul,

I have a question my father asked about metric. Here in the US socket and 
wrench sets are sold without 18 mm, yet my father needs that a lot to work on 
various machines. I checked my own set and indeed it goes from 17 to 19 mm with 
no 18 mm. I had a friend who claims it was to keep Americans from using certain 
sockets on American (non-metric) cars and stripping them out. If you have any 
idea let me know.

Thanks,

Randy
