A 3/4 is the same size as a 19mm. Hope that helps.

Damn, boostdshadow beat me to it. Yes, your problem is that you are looking for a metric plug socket for a standard plug.

I can't believe the snap on man nor anyone else could give you the correct advice about what you were looking for.

Anybody who is out of the 5th grade should grasp the concept of fractions.......

I agree with mars. Metric has WAY too many sizes. Standard sizes are far enough apart that you can normally tell what size a bolt/nut is just by looking at it. None of this try 3 sockets bullshit before you find the right one.

The good car manufacturers usually skip the odds or evens so you can easily figure out what you need with a simple look.
