Leaks at the kitchen sink caused a nearly brand new hardwood floor to buckle. Hardwood is perpendicular to the cabinets. I need to replace the middle of the floor without removing the cabinets and the huge countertop. What tool will fit under the 4″ cutout of the cabinets so that I can cut the bad floor out. Angle grinder seems a little rude and hard to handle. Franz

A toe kick saw might be what you could use.
Check at rental places has a small blade that sits on a shaft out from the motor and fits in the toe kick space.

Thanks, toe kick saw a tool I never heard of. Franz
Fein Multimaster or cheaper equivalent
dido to the fien multimaster....
You could use a rotary tool, like a dremel, with a toothed attachment, if you have one, or know a hobbyist who has one.
Or a MM, like they said.
