sk wrenches are very short. their long pattern wrenches are about the same as snapons standard wrenches.
sks standard wrenches are a good bit shorter than craftsman wrenches as well but not stubby short. how short do you want them?

I love my snap on ones. The work slick in engines bays. 13mm and down I use by themselves as they have enough leverage. Larger sizes I will use a full size wrench and use the short for the extra swing.

I have a set of Snap Ons for sale. Pretty sure they're listed at stubbies but they're longer than all my other stubbies. I would say they fall between my williams stubbies and SK superkrome wrenches.

I ordered a set of SK "Short Wrenches" As they were labeled in my matco dealers catalog. I should have them tomorrow. I will probably just buy a snap on set too.

Im Fairly Certain that SK's classification of "Short" Wrenches is there name for "Stubby".

Are These what your looking for?

SK Short Wrenches.

I have some older superkrome "standard" s-k's that I got for christmas when I was 11. They work good, as was mentioned before, long pattern s-k's (which I also have a set of in 8mm-19mm at home) are almost identicle length to snap ons "standard" length. And the standards are more like shorts.

I dunno why they do that, I should have jumped in Last Night when I first read the thread.

My Apologies..

I ordered mine last week, there is nothing you could have done, I saw some sk "shorts" on eBay and it clicked that they were in fact stubbies! No biggie! My kobalt set at work will now become my home set of stubbies!

Gearwrench 6 pt wrenches are shorter then their 12 long pattern wrenches. I can't remember for sure how much shorter now though. I ordered them in for a customer because the catalog says they are the same length as the 12 pts, customer didn't want them when they showed up because they were to short.
