Ace is the place...
The deep-well socket that's available at Ace Hardware also fits, and it's probably a bit cheaper than the Craftsman tool. One thing I've encountered, though, is that the fit is so snug that when I torque down the spark plug, it becomes very difficult to then remove the socket. I've ground mine down a bit, and will probably grind it even more since it's a major pain to have to convince the socket to come out of the hole.
Stupid? Naive? Neither, I'd say. The design of the bike is to blame. I've never come across another machine where changing the spark plugs was such a traumatic undertaking.
