I saw a recent post on crimp tools for hex crimps on coax, which had a
comment from a gentleman regarding physical ability to squeeze the
crimper handle tight enough.
It comes to mind that there is a tool available from Harbor Freight and
others which uses a (small hydraulic) lever/pump which takes several
strokes to close the dies, and which comes with assorted dies for small
to quite large hex sizes. I got mine from Amazon: BETOOL 8020 is the
item model..
There are also pneumatically operated crimpers.
Nobody on an assembly line making hundreds of crimps a day is going to
use muscle power, unless they want to be doomed to disability payments
and OSHA fines for the repetitive stress injuries.
I've seen the hydraulic ones for things like battery lugs. I assume
they're available for coax connector size things. How expensive are
they? is it a $100 item or a $500 item.
