Yes, those are what I've seen too... I have the Xcellite 'roll' which as 
somebody (you?) said includes them. I added the straight ratchet handle 
and the Pozidrive bits to the roll (enough spare pockets for them...) and 
bought the metric allen hex keys, Torx driers, metric nutdrivers and 
inch-size ball-ended allen hex as separate sets. All I'm missing from 
that range is the metric ball-ended hex.

I've seen L-shaped bristol spline keys in cataloges, I've never seen the 
need to get them though.
