$9.99 from Harbor Freight Tools
My favorite place for tools. Buy over $50 and get free shipping or find one of their stores near you. I have the set and they work fine.<ul><li><a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40036">http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40036</a</li></ul>

1/2" drive or 3/8" drive?
If you're snapping a 3/8" drive extension...you shouldn't be using it in the first place. If you're snapping a 1/2" drive extension, your bolts are on WAY too tight, or you're using cheap tools.

I use a 1/2" deep socket on my breaker, but my torque wrench is 3/8" w/ a 6" extension...
...my torque wrench ratcheting mechanism would break before a decent 3/8" extension would. And I don't think I could achieve enough leverage to break anything that's 1/2".

Gotcha. I could only find short at the Sears in Bethesda
....and the salespeople were unhelpful, rude, and beyond stupid. I'll definitely be taking my business elsewhere.
