The other thing I've used is a small vise, with some padding on the jaws, as
others have mentioned. I don't do a *lot* of those connectors, though some
years back I got a box of 36-pin "centronics" type and some ribbon cable. I
don't think I used 'em all up, though.

With some modification, that'd work pretty well, it seems to me.
Might be useful for other things as well, depending on your
inclinations. Make one heckuva walnut cracker...
