If you had to cut 60 wires, then remove 60 insulation, then crimp 60 wires it might work. Otherwise if you have to do everything at once before moving to the next piece it would take way too long. That being said the only thing I can see that's good about replaceable dies in long term maintenance of the tool.

While this will definitely work, in order for the factory specifications to apply to current load ect a crimp must be properly crimped from all directions toward the center. Using a vice only crimps from two sides and not from all sides like an actual crimper tool would. Using a vice can also produce a physically weaker crimp for the same reason as it is only crimping from two sides rather than all directions.
