What happens here
To modify the metal cabinet for the sink drain, a suitable cutting tool is needed. The creator first demonstrates a nibbler tool, which punches out small bits of metal, on a scrap piece. Next, a step drill bit is attempted but proves less effective on the thick metal. Ultimately, a more powerful and precise method is chosen.
Goal: Determine the best tool for cutting the metal cabinet.
