Renting a drill: tasks it handles on its own
To hang a 55-inch TV on a masonry wall, fix shelves or assemble a cabinet with wall plugs, a conventional 650 W drill is all you need.
It bores through brick effortlessly, accepts steel bits from 6 to 12 mm and, with a universal chuck, fits screwdriver bits for tightening or removing screws. In Itajai you can find Bosch or Makita models with a carry case for around R$ 45 a day.
If all you need to do is put together a flat-pack shelf or hang pictures on drywall, a simple drill wraps up the job in under an hour.
Screwdriver or drill-driver: wardrobe, deck and flooring
A screwdriver does not drill: it drives and removes screws with adjustable torque, making it ideal for assembling furniture without stripping screw heads.
Anyone building a fifteen-door wardrobe or a wooden deck will want a screwdriver alongside the drill, or a combo drill-driver that does both. Most listings include an 18 V battery and a case with Phillips, Torx and hex bits; check the chat before booking to confirm what comes included.
The daily rate usually sits close to a basic drill's. In a simulation at R$ 45 a day, four rentals a month and the 5% Alugoae commission, the owner earns R$ 171; the renter spends R$ 180 over four days instead of paying R$ 350 for a tool that might sit unused in a drawer.
Rotary hammer rental: reinforced concrete, tiles and demolition
A rotary hammer delivers far more percussive force than any drill: it is the right tool for boring into reinforced concrete, chipping off tiles set in mortar, cutting chases for conduit or knocking down part of a wall.
5 kg, 1,000 W models take SDS-plus chisels and bits from 4 to 40 mm; 8 kg versions use SDS-max for deeper work. In Navegantes and Balneario Camboriu you can find rotary hammer rental listings priced between R$ 80 and R$ 120 a day.
Removing tiles from a 5 m2 bathroom typically takes two days using a chisel held at a 45-degree angle.
Impact drill rental: the middle ground for masonry and block walls
An impact drill combines rotation and hammer blows, usually up to 48,000 ipm, and bores through brick, light concrete and hollow blocks without needing a rotary hammer.
It is the right choice for fitting a TV wall bracket on a structural block wall, installing wardrobe rail fixings or drilling for a ceiling clothes rack. Weighing 2 to 3 kg, it is less tiring than a rotary hammer for a full day of work. For reinforced concrete in beams or slabs, however, it lacks the force: a rotary hammer is the only option.
Before booking, ask in the chat whether the listing includes 6, 8 and 10 mm concrete bits. If not, buy a fresh set on the way: the cost is small and returning worn bits causes unnecessary friction.
What to check at pickup and return
At pickup, run the tool for 30 seconds, check that the chuck tightens and releases smoothly, and count the accessories listed in the ad.
Take a photo before you start and another when you finish, with the phone screen showing the date next to the tool. Alugoae recommends this record so that, if anything looks different at return, the deposit covers it without dispute.
At return, brush off concrete dust with a dry brush, put all bits and accessories back in the case and return the battery fully charged, or ask in the chat whether a charger is included.
- Run for 30 seconds and check for unusual vibration
- Manually tighten and release the chuck
- Count all bits and accessories in the case
- Photograph the condition with the date visible on screen
- Check battery charge level before leaving
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to rent a drill and a screwdriver separately to assemble furniture?
It depends on the listing. Many ads offer a 2-in-1 drill-driver with bits included; read the description and ask in the chat before booking.
Rotary hammer rental: how many days do I need for a bathroom renovation?
To remove all tiles from a 5 m2 bathroom, two days usually suffice. For cutting chases and drilling reinforced concrete on additional walls, book three days.
Can an impact drill handle reinforced concrete in a beam or slab?
No. For reinforced concrete, such as beams, columns or slabs, you need a rotary hammer with an SDS bit or chisel. An impact drill handles light concrete and masonry.
