what is the wire gage range that can be used on this tool and is there a sweet spot?

I used it for cleaning up the wiring in an RV... worked great with #4AWG as well as stranded copper 2/0 (2 ought). The 2/0 copper wire required two firm strikes, its about 1/2 in diameter.

Is the base plate of this device pre-drilled to allow it to be screwed down to a work table?

No, it is not pre-drilled but it does have triangular welded frame brackets on both sides at the bottom that could be used for mounting with a washer or drilled plate. It seems to work best if you place it on an anvil or other heavy iron mass.

The description says this works up to 4/0 terminals. Is this true?

Yes. I have used this for 4/0, 2/0, and 2 AWG wire and it worked great.

is it spring loaded to hold down the terminal?

Yes. When I use it I just hold the terminal in the right position with my left hand and strick the punch with the hammer in my right hand. It works pretty well in my opinion.
