You know how it goes though. The 1 you will soon need is the 1 they left out.
Back in the '70's, metric tool sets were sold primarily to service the Toyotas, Nissans and Hondas - cars bought by diy-ers. When the US makers started converting over to metric fasteners, they used 15mm and 18mm head sizes. Tool makers didn't bother to update their tool sets to match needs of US cars. I still see metric sets without a 15mm. DUH !
