Valve adjustment tool: Jam nut tool alternatives to Snap-on?

Is there an alternative to purchasing the $45 Snap-on tool for 10mm Jam nut
tightener? I want something cheaper, but made for the job.

I don't want to use some combo of bent wrench + flathead screwdriver.

I dont think this tool is still available from Harbor Freight. I searched thier web site, and couldnt find it (didnt call them and there is no Harbor Freight stores in this area.
I picked up one from toolsource.com - looks to be identical to the snap on unit. Was $42 including shipping from MD to NC.
