Who all makes them, chrome or impact? I see Sunex and GP have them in impact sockets, does anyone else offer them? Thanks!
Extra Deep 1/2" Drive Sockets?

Check out pass thru sockets...Gearwrench makes them. Effectively infinitely deep sockets and they do have extensions as well that can help with accessibility too.

I’ve got a pair made by cta tools in 10 and 12mm 3/8 drive. Used them for some body stuff like bumper removal and some odd stuff on German cars
i have made the ones i have needed. cheap impact socket, the correct size pipe and a welder do wonders. don't forget to weld a stop in the pipe so the nut or bolt doesn't become "lost" in the socket. i have about a 10 inch deep 15/16 that has been used heavily for years with no issues.
Duals?
good call
i typed without thinking. without going to look i am pretty sure it is 1 1/8 and not 15/16. the band dual rods and clamps use a heavy nut. we used to have duals and triples on a few things with band duals. now i only have one tractor that i sometimes put the triples on and even that has been a while. i only take the duals off of one tractor now and it has axle mounted hybs with metric hardware. all of my heavy pullers have tracks.
i have toyed with the idea of making extra deep or long sockets in 1/2, 9/16 and 3/4. they could be fabbed up in short order if material was on hand. once in a great while i run into a belt tensioner or threaded rod that requires 4 or 5 inches of pull.
as a side note. i started with a deep socket. when you split a shallow socket in half you don't have much material to work with.

Got any pictures?? I’ve been looking for something to use for duals as well.

Sure they will. Just put on an adapter from sq drive to pass through.
