So looks like those Knipex are the right ones. They are also listed on Home Depot for about the same price.
KNIPEX 8-3/4 in. Ear Clamp Pliers with Front and Side Crimp Jaws-10 99 i220 - The Home Depot
However, those are out of stock. They do have these though, and they are only $15.

Call me ignorant, but what's the difference? The description on one says "front and side crimp jaws" the other just says "front crimp jaws" but they look the same and are the same size

Ok, so I see the difference in them now. The main image on both is the same, but the actual tool looks different. For simplicity sake, I'm going to get the cheaper ones. Hopefully I never need to use them in a tight space. If I ever do, I can buy the more expensive ones.
The images on this page show the front and side much better in all the pictures other than the initial. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...059bc1d82a0453cba49c1bdd625252&language=en_US

Get the side ones. Those allow you to crimp ffrom the side and the front.So looks like those Knipex are the right ones. They are also listed on Home Depot for about the same price.

Yep, just got my electrician hooked on Knipex Cobra pliers. I let him borrow a set for a day to use and when he brought them back to me, he had already ordered a bunch of Knipex stuff for himself.

I just picked up a pretty good load of MAC and Snap-on tools from my wives grandma. They were her late husband's tools. He was a heavy equipment mechanic so I'll be able to actually put them to use in my shop. Some of the stuff was just old/cool, but for $300 it was a steal. There are probably a few K worth of just sockets.

Finally ordered the Knipex CV boot clamp pliers. Lowes had the best price. Should be available for pickup Thursday.
