When I worked in the aerospace industry it was common practice to use special "pliers" for removing "Cannon" multi-pin round connectors. These were not any old plumber's pipe wrench (you know - the ones that plumbers use to destroy chrome finish bathroom fittings) but a special tool designed for this purpose. The jaws were rubber padded and exactly the right shape to match the connector locking ring.
If a tool is need to secure a PL-259 then someone will have manufactured a similar tool. Can anyone point me to an advertisement or data sheet for one? If not, I'll continue to use my fingers.
