Schpacko Report post Posted January 10, 2023 Question for the Watch Strap Specialists in here. How do you do that little oblong hole for the quick release Spring Bars? Do you have a tiny oblong Punch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tugadude Report post Posted January 10, 2023 Seems a punch would be much easier but with my limited tools I would punch round holes at each end and then connect them with two straight cuts. Scalpel or X-acto Knife for the straight work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jdswitch Report post Posted February 28, 2023 I have one of these. Super easy to use and perfect results everytime. I'm in the UK so the link is to the UK site where i got them but you'll be able to get them in Switzerland i'm sure. You can get really expensive swiss made ones but they seem over-priced. You could also use a small oblong punch and slide a cocktail stick in where the spring bar will go to punch against. https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/notch-cutter-tool-quick-release-spring-bars-cousins-swiss-style?code=C60723 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
