micro-RF connector crimping options

Do micro-RF connector mating crimp connectors are ever sold separately together with a crimp tool? For example thisImage_alt_text

I have looked through a lot of pages, and can only find PCB connectors + cable assemblies sold. Are RF connectors manufacturer specific and they do not share the crimp tool / separate crimp connectors?

So far I have looked at Molex, Hirose, Murata, Rosenberger and a few other manufacturers and their connector lineups, I even sent an e-mail to some of them asking about it but no response so far.

The reason I am asking is I want to use a specific coaxial cable, and I thought that as long as it matches the AWG core size and insulation parameters that fit the connector, I should be able to pick a different cable.

Any experience with this is appreciated!

I've not seen them sold separately through distributors like Mouser and such, and have not seen any hand tools for these. I found this document and this video - it looks like the machines are semi-automatic and you need to inquire with the manufacturer directly regarding availability and price.
