Upgrading down pipes, where can I get an 02 sensor socket like this?

I'm upgrading my downpipes this weekend. The 02 sensor socket I have isn't ideal for the job. This one looks pretty good.
Any idea where to get one, other than mailorder from zdmak.com? I'd rather avoid mail order since I'm doing the work now.

Went with the Autozone option as recommended. They sell junk. See pic.

This lasted less than 60 seconds. I was able to get the socket very snugly installed. It seemed very straight and ready to be used.
I attached a 2 foot extension (not to be confused with a breaker bar).
I verifed that everything was good, and gave a swift pull and for a moment, I thought it broke free. Nope. it just broke. Junk.
The Milltek's will have wait until next weekend.
FWIW, I did go to sears first to see if they had anything. Nope. nothing. Mail order only.

FYI that one from autozone is made of a pretty weak alloy, mine shattered so make sure you wear goggles good thing they let me return it :-) took me a downpipe in a vise with a pipe wrench with a 4 foot pipe to get mine off so much for a easy evening replacement hopefully its not that stuck!
