I've once seen a bench mount version that had the dies mounted like a
chinese fan and you just rotated the right die under the lever and away
you go. Sadly i haven't seen such a unit for sale and it would be a) too
expensive and b) too big, but it sure is dead useful.
So i'll try to get a hand-operated version, i reckon it is enough for PCBs.
