This crimper is stamped:
AMP Type O
16-14
59498
16-14 is likely the wire gauge but the jaws are about 3/8" diameter, a little big for that wire gauge.

Maybe it's for O gage and 16-14 is the tool number. Or maybe it came with a diffent set of dies than what is currently installed.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I'm thinking it's got a different set of dies in it.

Agree that Amp is very big in electrical connectors and crimpers. I think it was sold as a 16-14 crimper and has had the dies changed since then.

The "O" die is for distribution electrical connectors, typically H-taps. Probably #1 stranded aluminum to #6 solid copper to feed a transformer.

I had used several different amp crimpers over the years as a lineman. Some have changeable dies others don't.
The O is a common size used on most house service sleeves. We had sleeves from #6 to #1/0 that used the same die. I believe O is 5/8. They make what we call an O D tool that had 1 fixed opening O and one that take dies. Meaning fixed O and die’s. Also called a one shot. We found a couple that had a 9/16 fixed instead of the 5/8 too.
Depending on who's sleeves your using you sometimes need a different die for the same size wire.
Most new crimper's are either ratchet, hydraulic, battery-operated and insulated.
Those were dangerous on live wire with the long metal handles.
