Help!! Been googleing for 2 hours!

I'm looking for a heavy duty post holder. I saw them last year in Home Depot or Lowe's but can't find it this year.

It's made of pvc which has a pointed end that is pounded into the ground. I've seen two sizes 18" and 24". At the top it's square and fits a 4 x 4 post. No digging or cement needed. Used for mailbox posts, fence posts, and gates. Anyone heard or seen this elusive product?

Thank you so much! Now I have a pic of what it looks like instead of me trying to explain it to a sales person! You're an O8)
