Do you know where you can get a ratcheting crimper like the blue one in the top right corner of that video still?  I used one a while back from a friend but he doesn't remember where he got it.  Best crimper I've ever used.

I've also found that if a QD is too light, use a small flat head screwdriver to loosen it.  If it's too loose, use a small pliers to tighten in.

Not certain, but they are probably going to be very expensive compared to the alternatives below.

Nephasth recommended http://www.pimfg.com/ as a great source for affordable ratcheting crimpers and I second that.

The jaws on page 74 of the catalog PDF work with the HT-336 frame or the Harbor Freight crimpers that MGB and I linked above.

The Harbor Freight crimpers are slightly lower quality than the HT-336 -- check the HF crimpers before you buy them to ensure they are working properly. (The first pair I checked weren't functioning/adjusted properly.)

These P/Ns are the ones I ended up getting.
HF Ratcheting Crimp Pliers for QDs
HT-336-FM Crimp Tool Frame (for D-subs)
HT-236-2C4-DIE (236 dies work in the 336 frame, check out the "data sheet" tab for detailed view)
HT-236-2U-DIE
HT-225D Crimp tool (for D-subs)

You talking about the ones that look like the Klein T1715?
