    depending what you need them for

    can always buy a fairly cheap set of normal sockets and:
    cut them in half
    weld some tube in between
    weld the socket end on


    if you don't need them perfectly square (not sure what the application is) but if you can find some steel pipe/tube close enough to the OD of socket makers welding them easy.

    Try buying closer to the manufacturer. A bit shorter, but ~1/5 the price. A bit of searching might turn up longer sockets at a similar price.
