Once you crimp all the way down it releases and the tool should be open and ready to do the next crimp. Depending on what setting you have it on you may be crimping too deep. You may have to really squeeze it to fully cycle it and then set to a lighter crimp.
I found a small automotive terminal crimper works well for the female connectors. A good snapon or like. Not the thin universal ones with screw cutters. The aero crimper is a must for the male ones.
