Best cheap spark plug socket

Hey, the first time I changed plugs I used a Sear's Craftsman... the rubber boot came out of the socket and stuck to the plug on the first driver's side plug causing me a ton of greif! I don't want to buy the whole 50 dollar snap-on socket... so any recommendations out there on what to get that won't cost a fortune? I want to go shopping tonight and get something, as I want my denso's out becuase I am trading in the truck next week.
Thanks!

S-K makes a nifty locking extension that you can pick up at Sears.com...about $20 each or $75 for a three pack.

I am embarrassed to admit it but I picked up a 4 1/2 in deep spark plug socket that is 3/8 drive at Checkers. Then I went to Sears and paid twice the price for a individual 7mm swivel head 1/4 drive socket.

Worked great for me. Then I put the 7mm in the sparkplug socket for storage and leave it in the truck.....

Yes it would be nice to have a full set of Snap On tools but I don't thing that will happen soon.
