Ooo.... Mini nicopress sounds like the proper tool; probably something I'll need to pick up at some point. My electrical crimper worked fine, but isn't quite as wide as the fitting so required 2 crimps.

Aric, this is the one I have.
It's made by Loos & co

will handle 1/32", 3/64" and 1/16" oval sleeves.
I think they retail for around $50, but I'm not sure. Got mine used at a garage sale for $5. Though I don't have the go/no go gauge you get if you buy retail... no that you need it for cam trigger repair, just nice to have.
Most cams over #1.5 Friend (or so) are 1/16" sleeves. Only had to use the 3/64th once, but that was more to due with the cable we had for free.

Works great for cam repair.
For heads, rivet hangers, and the like... my partner has a hand nicopress.
