Default 3/8" Deep 6 Sided Sockets who does them?

I've been tring to find a set of 3/8" Deep 6 sided sockets ideally sizes 6mm to 24mm but i'll settle for 8mm to 19mm if I have to.
I know Snap On do a set but it's £250 but thats alittle much really considering the amount I will use them?
Does anyone one else make them?
All the other makes i've seen including Halfords are 12 sided in a Deep 3/8".

ive got a set of halfords hex shaped sockets in 3/8 and 1/4 drive but ive had them for years so they might not do them now. a set from 10 - 24 and a set from 6 to 14 and individual sockets purchased for others needed outwith those sizes.

I went to Halfrauds yesterday and asked them for 6 sided sockets in 3/8" and the bloke said they only did 6 sided in 1/4" Drive and 1/2" i'll think i'll pop down in abit and ask another monkey to to open the glass cabinets so I can have a look.

You even write in a Scottish accent

I've looked through ebay loads and just can't find any, not even cheap ones

Thats quite abit £65 for only 8 Deep sockets everything else I already have plus you can't tell if the deep sockets are 6 sided.
I don't mind paying around the £80 for a full set of 6mm to 24mm just not £250.

I has a set of 3/8 sockets from 8mm to 19mm from the range. Only cost around 8 quid and came on a rail. Not too bad to be honest.
