Need to cut a sink into a worktop, make curved cuts, or trim a board?
The jigsaw is the queen of curves and internal cuts. But beware: a low-end saw vibrates and the blade wanders, ruining your precision. For a square cut in a thick worktop, you need a quality pendulum jigsaw (precise blade guidance), a pro tool that changes everything.
With Poppins, precision becomes accessible. Our app aggregates available stock for the first time: jigsaws from your DIY neighbors, offers from hardware stores, and fleets from professional rental companies. The result? You find a precise machine just steps away.
Where can I find a jigsaw 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 jigsaw?
The math is simple. You can find saws for €30, but they cut crooked. A good saw costs €150. To install a sink every 5 years, renting a pro model is much smarter.
On the Poppins app, you will find jigsaws for all materials (wood, metal, plastic).For small DIY jobs or cutting paneling, a standard jigsaw offered by a neighbor is sufficient.For thick cuts (worktops) or precision work, choose a powerful pendulum jigsaw (available from our pro partners). The pendulum motion helps the blade bite into the wood.Important: Check the type of blade provided (Wood, Metal, Fine Cut)!
Which jigsaw should I choose?
On the Poppins app, the choice depends on your precision:
- Standard Jigsaw: For quick or rough cuts. Sufficient for light demolition or thin wood.
- Pendulum Jigsaw: The blade moves forward and backward to cut faster. Essential for thick wood.
- Cordless Jigsaw: Convenient for working without an annoying cable, especially for complex curved cuts.
