Tek had a very strong "do it ourselves" attitude. Since they had to make
many jigs and tools they made many of the tools even one could buy them I
use to have a small collection of parts used to make tools, for example
unused "raw" Execlite handles and shaft material. When ready one would heat
the shaft push it into the handle and twist finally letting it cool.
Think about it, you have one of the best model shops around and the
machinist, when idle a perfect time filler.

A quick search found this in a few seconds:

Note there are a lot of tools, including a number of offset, slotted hex
drivers for the BNC back-nuts, etc - kind of equivalent to a crow-foot
socket, but nicer, low profile for getting in close-quarters behind the
panel. Didn't see any of these nut driver style ones for holding the front
though. I'm still convinced these were commercial products. Tek could have
made them in-house, but I doubt they needed to. Even way back, there must
have been plenty of demand for various BNC tools, and someone to fill it.
Every connector type has special tools to go with it.
