Need to demolish a wall, cut up pallets, prune branches, or slice pipes?
The reciprocating saw (often called a Sawzall) is the ultimate demolition tool. It goes where other saws can't. But beware of vibration: a cheap machine is exhausting to use. To cut metal or green wood efficiently, you need a powerful machine with the right blade.
With Poppins, gear up for tough jobs. Our app aggregates available stock for the first time: saws from your neighbors, offers from hardware stores, and fleets from professional rental companies. The result? You find a robust machine just steps away.
Where can I find a reciprocating 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 reciprocating saw?
The math is simple. It's often a tool used occasionally for demolition or heavy gardening. Renting avoids storing a machine that sees little use.
On the Poppins app, you will find reciprocating saws for every job.To prune branches or cut up pallets, a cordless saw offered by a neighbor is perfect.To cut cast iron pipes, steel, or demolish a brick partition, choose a powerful corded model (1000W+) available from our pro partners.Important: Check the type of blade provided (Wood, Metal, or Universal) before renting!
Which saw should I choose?
On the Poppins app, the choice depends on your material:
- Cordless Reciprocating Saw: Ideal for gardening (pruning) or places without power. Maneuverable but limited battery life.
- Corded Reciprocating Saw (Heavy Duty): The workhorse. For cutting metal studs, old windows, or pipes. Never stops.
