Need to assemble a wardrobe, put up shelves, or take apart furniture?
Screwing by hand is slow, tiring, and often leads to blisters. For efficient assembly, a cordless drill/screwdriver is essential. But beware: cheap €30 "gadget" models lack torque (tightening force) and the battery dies halfway through the job.
With Poppins, access performance without the investment. Our app aggregates available stock for the first time: drills from your neighbors, offers from hardware stores, and fleets from professional rental companies. The result? You get the right tool at the right price, and right next door.
Where can I find a screwdriver 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 cordless drill?
The math is simple. For the price of a good drill (Bosch Green or Ryobi) with bits, you can rent more than 20 times on Poppins.
On the Poppins app, you will find a wide range of cordless drills/screwdrivers adapted to every project.For assembling flat-pack furniture (Ikea, etc.), many neighbors offer compact 12V screwdrivers that are light and maneuverable.For carpentry work, wooden decks, or long screws, prioritize a powerful 18V drill or an impact driver (available from our pro partners).Tip: Always check with the owner if the bit set (Philips, Flathead, Torx, Allen) is included in the rental!
Which screwdriver should I choose?
On the Poppins app, the choice depends on your task:
- Compact Screwdriver (10.8V / 12V): Ideal for assembling furniture, fixing curtain rods, or hanging frames. Lightweight, it fits everywhere (drawers, cupboards).
- Versatile Drill-Driver (18V): The standard. Heavier but more powerful, it can also drill into wood and metal.
- Impact Driver: A specific pro tool. It doesn't drill; it drives screws with immense force using bursts. Essential for driving into hard wood effortlessly (decking, framing).
