Make one. Keep in mind that wrapping isn't as easy as it seems in the video. Good luck.
Edit: I think you will find making the hook the easiest part of the operation. Hehe

It's the steel on the inside that counts.

I watched the video out of curiosity, just to see how this was done. I had the same thought....crochet needle....or a piece of very stiff wire.

That isn't a real tsukamaki tool you can buy, it's just a piece of bent wire. I wouldn't recommend using it or doing tsukamaki this way but if you want it, just make it from a wire coat hanger.

I don't have a video but Josh from Cottontail Customs makes some of the best tutorials around. Here's his one on tsukamaki. Easy and thorough enough that even someone who has actual serious difficulties using picture guides used it, no problem. www.cottontailcustoms.com/tsukamaki/

That's just a clamp. You can get them at any hardware store.
