Even the hole punch isn't necessary. I prefer to use the X-Acto knife to
cut away the excess material inside the hole just before crimping the
prongs. However, I find my "water pump" pliers to be quite helpful in
crimping the prongs (large slip-joint pliers would work just as well); and a
piece of cardboard to hold under the top as I stab the X-Acto knife through
the holes. A new blade for the X-Acto is a good idea too.
