Sears is expensive though. There was another cheaper brand, like what Home Depot sells or something. I can't remember the name but it's 1/2 the price. Someone used to sell them on ebay. There is also the choice of the tool from Mazdatrix which is sorta like a socket welded on a long bar.

I broke the square drive head off a 1/2" breaker bar when I tried to take off the bolt the first time. The sears socket is 1" drive so I went with a 1" breaker bar and a LONG pipe extension. BTW the front 19mm bolt was MUCH more of a problem.

I beleive the manual says to take the 19mm front bolt off first, or at least crack it loose. The 300ft lbs of the large nut is nothing compared to the 19mm nut if it's not first. I had to use a 1" titanium impact gun and a shot of nitrous. Next time, I crack the 199mm bolt before the 2" nut.
Oh yeah, Stanley is not cheap just cheaper. It doesn't matter if Craftsman has lifetime warranty, so what. It doesn't mean they don't break, it means they replace them free. I've had four Craftsman super scissors and now need a fifth but this time i'm asking for a refund.

Time to see what this "Bridgeported Motor" is all about

Constant threat
Sears is where I bought mine.
What was cool was I had the adapter on the socket, and they scanned the tag on the adapter, so I got the socket for like...$9 or so. Try it, it might work for you too!
