Yes but those are Amphenol connectors. Many "good looking"
connectors we buy today have really poor plating and poor machining
tolerances. Thus all "look alike" connectors aren't the same. 10 in
a bag for $10..........no thank you.

I agree with your process Chuck. I have never read an Amphenol document that
suggests anything other than hand tight.
Since the barrel is knurled and has no flats for a wrench it seems certain that
a wrench was not what the designer had in mind.

I don’t tighten pl259s with pliers. I wiggle the plug so it sets into the
mating grooves while tightening it with my fingers and never had them get
loose. I think that’s where folks go wrong...when the plug doesn’t set into the
grooves. I almost need pliers to remove the plug when disconnecting it. At
least 60 years so far this works...

Tightening inside PL259's with pliers is not desirable, because each Hams

I want to use my hands to screw them on and off.
You may like that, but mother nature likes them tight. And she always wins.
Also, when you have SO239 chassis mounted "Round" connectors (using one
large lock washer), then pliers will loosen them every time.
I'd call that equipment junk.
