Need to cut metal, slice through bricks, or chase walls for electrical wiring?
The grinder (or disc cutter) is the essential tool for cutting hard materials. But be careful: a cheap grinder vibrates, overheats, and can be dangerous if the disc shatters. Furthermore, to embed cables cleanly, a simple grinder isn't enough: you need a wall chaser with double discs coupled with a construction vacuum to avoid suffocation.
With Poppins, access performance without the investment. Our app aggregates available stock for the first time: grinders 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 grinder quickly?
Although Poppins covers the entire country, 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 grinder?
The math is simple. For a one-off renovation (e.g., rewiring), renting is unbeatable, especially if you need a specific wall chaser that will only be used once.
On the Poppins app, you will find a wide range of grinders adapted to every material.For small locksmith or tiling jobs, many neighbors offer light and handy 115mm or 125mm angle grinders.To cut concrete, stone, or curbs, choose a powerful 230mm cutter (available from our pro partners).Finally, to chase electrical cables, you must opt for a concrete wall chaser coupled with a construction vacuum.
Which grinder should I choose?
On the Poppins app, the choice depends on your cut:
- Angle Grinder 125mm: The versatile one. Ideal for cutting metal, grinding welds, or cutting tiles. Light, held with one or two hands.
- Disc Cutter 230mm: The heavy one. For cutting thick construction materials (block, brick, concrete slab). Warning: it requires strength and must be held firmly with two hands.
- Wall Chaser: The electrician's specific tool. Equipped with two parallel discs, it carves two perfect grooves in the wall to house a conduit. Essential: rent it with a vacuum cleaner to avoid turning your room into a dust cloud!
