For the punch size, it is a 2x7mm, same size as the holes on the strap.

Alternatively, the XS strap will be out very soon. :)

Bumping an old thread, but the rep XS strap is now out. Just in case someone stumbles on this thread.

There is an easy way if you have the tools to do so.

Buy a brake line for a car, cut the end off with a dremel or any other tool that will cut it, sharpen the edge with a grinder. Then since the line is soft metal, use a hammer to lightly beat the end until it's the oval shape you require. Hammer it through your strap... done.

You have to resharpen it every hole you punch though for pro results.

(This one was used so the edges aren't nice and sharp, just an example. You can still see leather inside of it, haha!)


Thank you, great idea and love the DIY!
