No doubt that the Milwaukee crimper will do the job but, it's no match for the speed of the hydraulic crimper.
If speed is even an issue.

We use the same ones or similar with the Milwaukee idk it takes like 1 second for the crimp and it’s a fork style so you don’t have to open the jaws just stick it on push the button till it stops and opens back up takes like 2 secondsThis is the barrel type we use:

Wow that thing must be crying when crimping 750’s. We use a 15 ton head for that size. T&B TBM-15

Nope works like a champ still 2 seconds
I didn’t see the pressure specification in the product info. That’s one if not the the most important criteria that should be listed.

And if you use the one key app you can actually download the force data for each crimp you do
I was a Manufacturing Engineer. Torque specifications do not require that one considers what load is on the threads vs the mechanical force at the connection (which is controlled by the shape and type of contact being made such as with a set screw). Torque values is engineered by the surface finish, inorganic metal finish, and thread pitch and size. If your components are galling at torque spec then you have bad parts. All torque specification applications are designated for minimum of 3 cycles before any consideration of failure of any type such as galling or thread distortion etc (with the exception of lug nuts on vehicle wheels and a few others designed for repeated replacement cycles). Failure in under three cycles means that torque values were exceeded, that the parts were not clean or had contaminants introduced, or that oil or other lubricant was used against specification.
I hope this helps resolve consideration of thread load verses contact load.
You forgot the layer of friction tape over the rubber tape.

I'm laughing but we were hired to reengineer all the wiring on a City water feature and the original electrician's waterproofing of his submerged pump cable splice was a Colonial bread bag held on with electrical tape.

The sad part is that this was a city project and city inspectors and they allowed that??
