Guys,

Do you know where you would get the hardware shown in this video?

That is a simple arbor press, and the cap container they most likely turned on a lathe.

I was more interested in the crimping tool.

And do you really think he turned that tube on a lathe? I feel like you should be able to buy that somewhere. I just don't know where.

I know that my dad has something like that for crimping coax cables. It crimps uniformly around the circumference leaving behind little impressions. I know they do make a crimper specifically for crimping blasting caps.

I think I recall it being stated in the comments that a lathe was used. You can buy these casings as they are used for making sealed probes. Lookup thermowells and sensor casings/housing, or closed end tubes.

I made the mistake of confusing videos, as I didn't watch the link. I have watched it before, but mistook the crimper used for another video. This, again, seems to be something he likely turned on a lathe, himself. ;)
