I know you want an exact match to what you lost but if you give up your search and are willing to try something different, I use these for card access and low voltage jobs everyday. They have a dull, grippy, slightly spongy feel to the handles and can strip PAIRS of 18ga wires and 22 ga wires. I have replaced them multiple times after wear and tear or losing them. Moderately priced and the best performers I have found. They fit nicely in my back pocket for a "quick draw" action. Amazon link here but they are sold all over including Home Depot if you want to hold them before buying. I have the yellow handles for large gauge wire also.
To each their own, I personally feel I lack the patience for them. I keep a pair at my desk in case I'm in a pinch. For daily use though, they're just no match to the pairs ((1), (2)) I keep in my tool kit. A firm grip and a nice straight pull and I've got confidence that the insulation is cut cleanly and the conductor isn't nicked.
This will probably work for you:

In the manual it doesn't fully tell you where to put the power leads. Hook it up like in the youtube video linked by the other guy. If the directions are backwards, reverse the motor. Red is + and black is -.
You will need a 12 V DC power supply. Often called wall warts or wall plugs. You can get one on Amazon, Fry's, Best Buy, etc. Here's the first one I found, I have no idea about whether it's a good brand or good price or anything. Read the reviews. It's a 2 Amp which exceeds the minimum I calculated earlier, but you could go for a 3 amp as well:

You will need the little plug that take DC power as input and outputs a red and black wire. Here's an example:

You will also need wire to go from the plug to the board, and since there are multiple points on the board to connect to +12V and 0V, you will need jumper wires to spread to multiple terminals like she does in the video. So you need something like this.
Finally to cut and strip the insulation from the wires you will need something like this.
