Need to cut a concrete slab, open a window in a wall, or cut asphalt?
For heavy construction work, a simple electric grinder is not enough. You need a concrete saw (often called a gas cut-off saw), a powerful gasoline machine capable of driving a large diamond blade. It is the essential tool for deep cuts and very hard materials, often used with water to limit dust.
With Poppins, access construction gear without the investment. Our app aggregates available stock for the first time: saws from your expert neighbors, offers from building supply stores, and fleets from professional rental companies. The result? You find a high-performance machine just steps away.
Where can I find a concrete saw quickly?
Although Poppins covers the entire country of France, you have a 95% chance of finding a device within 15 minutes of your location if you live in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes, Lille, Toulouse, or Marseille. In these cities, the density of our network (neighbors + partner retailers) guarantees immediate choice.
Is it worth buying a concrete saw?
The math is simple. It is a very specific and expensive tool. To create a window opening or cut curbs, renting is the only rational option.
On the Poppins app, you will find concrete saws for all major works.The standard is the 300mm or 350mm disc cutter (Stihl TS type), ideal for cutting blocks, curbs, or opening a brick wall.To saw a concrete slab on the ground over a long length, choose a floor saw on a cart (available from our pro partners).Important: These machines are often used with a water connection to suppress dust. Check for the presence of the water kit!
Which saw should I choose?
On the Poppins app, the choice depends on your site:
- Concrete Saw (Manual): For vertical cuts (walls) or piece work (concrete pipes, curbs). Cutting depth approx. 10-12cm.
- Floor Saw (Walk-behind): For long horizontal cuts (slab expansion joints, asphalt trenches). You push it while walking.
- Diamond Chain Saw: Rarer, for cutting sharp corners or going through very thick walls (>30cm).
