Snap-On have the 10mm tool as STSM10B.  They have two 12mm, STSM12A and 
STSM12LA - the former is 109.5mm and the latter 147.6mm in length.  All are 
1/2" drive.  

My 12mm was made by Draper and is 97mm in length.  It's almost _too_ long for 
the "replace head gasket without removing manifolds" trick because it fouls the 
inlet manifold when used on the back head bolts on the manifold side - you 
have to worm a universal joint in there.  And it has to be one that will take 
60Nm plus 2 x 90 degree turns.  I use a King Dick.
 
Snap-On list the 8mm tool as FTSM8C in 3/8" drive.  There's a long version 
(84.6mm versus 58mm) as FTSM8AL - but there may be a catalogue error (page 73) 
because it has "6mm" against it in the table, even though the code seems to 
suggest it's 8mm.  Caveat emptor.
