SSL might have
The company that sells RIGID tools next to Kanson Engineering in South I think they are owned by Damus
khanico may also have

could make it yourself....just need a close enough piece of square section steel, and a file or grinder, and something to bend it to 90 degrees (vise, man with freakishly powerful rectal sphincter etc)

You can buy an adapter like what they use if lets say you want to use a 1/2" drive ratchet with a 3/8". Drive socket and its minimal filing or grinding for it to work. According to Yahoo answers, 3/8" = 9.5mm...at least thats what i would have done. 1/2"- 3/8" adapter costs about $25 so it wouldnt hurt too much if you fug it up lol. It looks almost exactly like the the one in the picture above...
