    I have used flatheads of various sizes and it wouldn’t budge, unfortunately. I don’t know how to cut metal.

      After you work through this little delema, take a couple hours and read up on the properties of different metals like steel, aluminum and brass. Metal working really is fascinating and it generally is much easier that’s it looks.
