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.
