They are insanely expensive and you can make your own for a fraction of the cost. Make yourself a pcb with pad's for the chip and glue on some brackets for alignment. Then you add a hinge solution and a crossbar with a snap-lock. Now all you need is some non-static foam or similar to put on the part of the arm that will press chip down. On the other part of pcb you add the pinns needed for your programmer. Then snap-on and burn! I have one for 18 pim soic and one for those wierd 40-pin ones with pinns on all edges. (Can't remember package name right now.)
