Hex attachments for a wrench?

Does anyone know where I can get some hex/allen key ends for my normal socket wrench (or torque wrench when I get one)???

I need one tomorrow to tighten my crank bolts and thought it would be pretty standard in my cheap home tool kit but have discovered to my dismay that there are only a couple of hex bits and they're not the right sizes. I've had to cobble together something using the 8mm attachment from my multi-tool which fits onto a 6mm hex key (fortunately I did have a 6mm hex bit for the wrench) but it's less than ideal because it sticks out a fair bit longer than I'd like, making it tricky to get really good leverage.

Couldn't even find anything on Screwfix's website, and I really thought they had everything.

Hex keys are ten-a-penny but hex bits for a wrench/ratchet handle are nowhere to be found, it seems.
