98mm is under 4 inches. What do you consider short?
Depends on size, thinner are shorter. You can find a few 18" ones here

Just getting into this, at work we had some 1/8 inch bits and a few
other sizes up to about 1/2 inch that were about a foot long, some 1/4
and 5/16 inch bits that were about 5 feet long.
And I had a 2 1/4" that was 12 feet long - - - - Had to make that
one though.
"installer" bits of roughly 18 inch length are COMMON in smaller sizes
-3/16 to 3/8 sort of range - - some with a hole in the web at the tip
for attaching a wire or pull cord to pull it through the hole.
Why would you need to do that instead of just using pliers to grab it?
