Dropped an allen key from recent tour. Want to get another set anyway.

Can someone suggest a good set of 'short', ball-ended allen keys? Most sets seem to be long ones.

Like this Dekton set https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363948854584 I've never heard of this brand. I just don't want anything made of cheese.

Wera maybe? Are these the shortest they do?

I've got that Wera set and it's quite heavy. Could you use their bicycle specific allen keys?

or the Bicycle set 3 which has an extra empty plastic case which you can carry the tiny ratchet and some appropriate bits in. I have that one too and it's pretty useful.

I've got a tiny torque + socket set I take sometimes so I'm more interested in loose allen keys.

That bike set might be an idea although it's like twice the price of the stubby set.
