Can anyone recommend me a short socket set

The cheaper the better really in 1/2". Tried my usual fallback of ebay but no luck. I'm only after a 19mm but might as well buy the whole set online as its not super urgent and Halfords want 7 quid for a single socket.

It has to be 1/2" so that I can get my two foot breaker bar into a very narrow space. Tried it with a standard length socket and it got wedged between the nut and the brake pipes so I definitely don't want to try that again!

Do Halfords do sets of 1/2" short sockets? I couldn't see anything in the store or on their website.

Sealy do a drive through socket set. Instead of the ratchet going on the end the socket kinda goes in to the ratchet.

Like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOCKET-SE...ltDomain_3&hash=item1c115f7419#ht_3031wt_1037 but you want 1/2"

I saw them, but due to the amount of presure I need to put onto it, I need a lot of leverage, suppose I could put something over the end of it.
