YMMV, but what I do is actually use the conical spreading tool you show 
on the video (that you say doesn't work) and it works perfectly for me 
every time.  I only use Belden connectors, like the ones you show but
don't use.  I prefer the yellow Palladin stripper and the Platinum Tools 
Copper Clad Steel Coax Cutters available at Tech Tool Supply.

You are correct that heat is magic for making them go on
easily.  Same as putting hoses on hose barbs (or removing them).  For
hoses I use boiling water.
