When inserting the rivets we recommend using a very solid surface like a cement floor so there is no movement. You will just need a hammer to set the rivets, but you will need something to make a hole in your leather, we recommend a revolving hole punch

Metal sliders 2 x 1″. The sliders you need will slightly depend on the webbing you use, if you are using our plain webbing or Long Road webbing these loops work the best.
