Bullet brass is mostly too small for tool handles
  I have lots of 38 brass, have had for decades (its my caliber)
but I don't think I was ever able to make a decent tool handle from them.
   If you have access to the big 50 cal machine gun cartridges, maybe?

  But shotgun brass? For thin wall ferrules, shotgun brass is pretty 
much ideal.
  20, 16, 12 and 10 all have corresponding handles they fit.
   I think these are 16 ga ferrules

  (Just gently heat the shell until the adhesive lets go.)

  Large industrial fuses have perfect brass cap ends, but I never 
figured out how to get them free easily.

   Mostly though, compression nuts and flair nuts just rock.
  I have been using those for 30 years.
     yours Scott
