Lots of options, thankfully. If I can save time on a job its $$, if its my work it lets me get more things done in the limited time I have. The Gearwrench XL 10mm is 9.5" vs 6.25" long for the standard wrench. edit. Found another options thats 12.4" long, so almost 2x the standard. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I just picked up these: amazon link. Saw them recommended in a video about changing the alternator in a Lexus ES350 by a pro mechanic. Supposedly this is the generic but same thing as the ones sold for a lot more money on the tool trucks. Well built, long and slim work well to get to the front of FWD engines.
