_The first thing you ought to do is ask yourself: What is the definition of punching? Answer: It's the production of holes against an external belt. Then, position yourself so as to have your weight on the punch, securing it; and then use a sharp blow of the hammer to DRAHVE it through._

It sure does help! Since I’ve lost weight, my current belt is now too big, and now I know what to do. Thank you.

Rip I find my 9mm glock works great for larger pronged belts. My 22 revolver works great on smaller belts.

Bigger belt holes are more useful in general than smaller belt holes

I'm so glad you made this video. The hole punch I bought at Staples really was not cutting it.

I never thought rip would make this video. I figured his answer would be you need to gain weight. Start drinking a gallon of milk a day.

If you're needing to put extra holes in the belt, you're probably not drinking your milk like you should!

Did you watch to the end? He punched it on the long side to make it longer, not to make it shorter. So the trainee in question must be drinking plenty of milk.

Put them holes in sets of fivah.

wow so funny and original never heard that one before

Got an ATX 13mm that fits perfectly on the very skinny side of the belt, but i am planning on losing a little weight so ill be following your advice to a tee when the time comes. Thank you so much.

Thanks, ordered the punch today. Hopefully this works equally well on a dominion strength double ply belt.

Coach is such an optimist! I always add a new hole at the front of the belt!...:)

Can you do this for 1/2 inch hole spacing like trying to make a poineer cut belt?

very good advices

Point taken but for a lot of folks a quality belt is a good sized investment, a day's pay for many. And tbh I'm the type that would use the first nail or knife I could find and be surprised that it ruins the belt. I like these videos.

I always use a heated nail it works fine

Do you burnish the holes at all? Or put anything on them?

Only rip could educate and sound dirty at the same time 😅😂😂😂. That’s what she said

I’m practically in between a medium and a large belt, should I buy a larger belt and drive more holes in to make it smaller?

So.......Rip.......How do YOU get the plug of leather out of the punch?

@pbp6741

While this question seems to be directed at only Mr Rippetoe for anyone else with the same question: The punch has a cutout on the side above the cutting surface. Successive plugs push their predecessors upward until they fall out of the cutout. It’s not a big deal because the punch widens as plugs get pushed up the cutting surface resulting in reduced friction as they climb.

Aren't lever belts easier to put on and also better? Lol more expensive right enough

I thought you were in Texas.? Pull the belt snug and go around it with duct tape a few times.

Drill.

That belt is garbage! Inzer forever baby!!!

Rip is so unfit that after tapping the punch several times he is loudly puffing and huffing (you can hear it). I think he should get of his high horse and do cardio.
