a crowfoot wrench also works.

but the O2 sensor socket was only $6 at my FLAPS, so that's what i
got.  not all cars have easily accessible O2 sensors, and the socket
has come in handy.

by the way, if you have problems with the socket slipping because it's
opening up (the slot weakens it), put a hose clamp on it after putting
the wire through the slot.
