Where to get BMW spark plug tool?

I have the CTA tools spark plug socket. Used it for the first time last week to change all 6 plugs. Its got a rubber insert that holds the plug snug in place. Applying dielectric grease to the plug made it easy to slide the plugs in and out, otherwise it felt a bit too tight. Had the extension come off once too lol but it got the job done.

Anyone know where I can get one, preferably in the Austin area? Or can I use a generic spark plug socket?

You can get the coils for $130.00 right now on Amazon. All 6.

If you at or near 100K, you should replace them.
