JMcC Report post Posted October 31, 2015 I am looking for mini oblong hole punchers. Small enough to use on things like watch bands, etc. Does anyone one have any suggestions as to where I might find such a critter? I have searched the web without much luck. The ones I have come across so far are all too big. You would think that Tandy would have something but alas, no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TwinOaks Report post Posted November 1, 2015 Brettun's Village is running a clearance/special on teeny tiny hole punches - $20 check their site under "even smaller punches". They aren't oblong, but at that size, I don't think you'll find anything other than round....or "used to be round". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMcC Report post Posted November 1, 2015 Thank you Twin Oaks for the reply. I already own a set of small punches that are round but I have noticed some of the small buckles that have a tang or whatever you call the part of the buckle that goes through the hole that are oblong. I guess one could just punch two small holes next to each other to make an oblong hole. Anyway, I just figured that if someone is making that style of a buckle, that there would be a punch to work with them. Guess I was mistaken. I just won't order that style of buckle and problem solved! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted November 1, 2015 Several months ago there was a thread here looking for rectangular slot punch for watch straps. Seems to me they found one. So it looks like a search is in order for you to find it. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted November 5, 2015 What size are you looking? On UK ebay [probably on US ebay too] you can buy small oval hole punches from sellers in China for a small price. Downside is having to wait up to 3 or 4 weeks for it to arrive. An example; a 3 x 6 mm hole punch is about $4.10 [inc s&h] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firehorseservices Report post Posted November 7, 2015 What size are you looking for? I bought a few oblong punches off of eBay and one is way smaller than I will ever use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klstclair Report post Posted November 15, 2015 Hi, Have you looked at http://www.lekoza.com? They have Vergez Blanchard (VB) oblong hole punches and if you are looking for something smaller, contact forum member Matt T who owns Lekoza and he can order the VB oval punches. You just have to be patient as they will be added to a future order and may take a few weeks to arrive. I have ordered from him before and found his service to be as promised. I have just ordered a couple of items from him from VB that he doesn't normally stock and he gave me an estimated lead time. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
