Default socket for spot light adjustment

Does anyone know where you can buy a 9/16ths socket that is used to loosen the spot lamps to adjust them or do most of you just slice a cheap socket and use that?

I bought one through Snap On over 10 years ago. Get a decent quality 6 point 9/16 and slice it. Craftsman are pretty good. That will void your warrenty though

They are $54.00 from the Snap on man. Use a 6 piont though if you cut a 12 point it can jump over the nut when it flexes just as you are about to get it tight.
