Need to drill into concrete, hang a shelf, or install a curtain rod?
Choosing the right drill is crucial: a simple cordless screwdriver will never penetrate a load-bearing wall or brick. For these jobs, you need a powerful hammer drill or corded model, expensive tools that often sit in a closet after just a few holes.
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 drill 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 drill?
The math is simple. For the price of a brand-name drill (like Bosch or Makita), you can rent more than 20 times on Poppins.
On the Poppins app, you will find a wide range of drills adapted to every wall type.For standard drilling (wood, drywall), many neighbors offer handy cordless drills (brands Ryobi, Black+Decker).To tackle brick or concrete, choose a corded hammer drill (more powerful) or a rotary hammer (available from our pro partners). Remember to check if the bits are provided by the owner!
Which drill should I choose?
On the Poppins app, the choice depends on your wall:
- Cordless Drill (Standard): Ideal for wood, drywall, and thin metal. Lightweight and maneuverable, perfect for small jobs.
- Hammer Drill (Percussion): Essential for brick, soft stone, or breeze block. The "hammer" mode strikes the wall to help the bit penetrate.
- Rotary Hammer (Concrete): The only one capable of drilling reinforced concrete or hard stone. If you have a load-bearing wall, this is what you need (often uses SDS bits).
