The Sunex one is the type I'm looking for, but I want the length of a Snap-On flextension. I currently use a Laser tools (part number 6151, bought it at a JLR dealer years ago) socket similar to the Britpart one mentioned above, but it's no different from using a shallow socket with an extension. I'd really like a flextension style to actually get away from the driveshaft, I use Snap-On E12/E14 (PFSX912B and PFSX914B) on more modern Land Rovers with GKN driveshafts and it's a total gamechanger. I think driveshaft and weird bell housing bolts must be the #1 reason these sockets exist, no wonder some companies call them driveline sockets.
And I definitely would buy them from Astro. Capri's metric set is $300 while Astro 78354 is only $130 and I'm sure the metric Astros are every bit of the quality of the double price Capris. I'd love to buy an SAE set.

Least for the Landrovers I've touched they're 6 points. Most annoying as they're the only imperial fasteners on my disco. The britpart DA1065 seems to work well enough

Be glad you're not dealing with old Series trucks and 80s Defenders. I swear they just made up fasteners as they went along. BS/BA, Whitworth, SAE, Metric, all mixed together in a crazy hodgepodge. I mostly end up working on early 00s Rovers where almost everything is metric or torx thankfully.

Looks like Astro is where Mac is getting their new pocket prybars from. I'll probably end up getting an Astro set since Mac doesn't seem to offer the 45* one, which is a shame because it denies me a purple handle.

WTF? Striking cap on a mini pry bar?

Yeah, I need to buy a set.

I’ve been using the Lisle 35100 for a while now. I like the bigger flat striking cap it has because sometimes it gets used backwards as a mini hammer. But one can’t have too many pocket prybars. I’d like to try these Astros.
