Tool to punch out slots in riders

So for years I've used Tapco's handheld nail slot punch to punch oblong holes in real estate riders 0.40 aluminum. It used to work and then the punch got dull and I bought a new one. The new one didn't last long and now both won't punch. I went to Lowe's to try a Kobalt one and it was worse and didn't do a single punch.

I know out there somewhere, there is either a tap and die punch set or a machine to do these, but cannot find one anywhere. Do any of you know the best way to punch these out? I prefer 1/4" tall by 3/4" length holes, but heck at this point I'll take anything.
