PARKSIDE® 20V Cordless Angle Impact Wrench PAWS 20 A1

Technical overview

The PARKSIDE® 20V Cordless Angle Impact Wrench PAWS 20 A1 is designed to tighten and loosen hex bolts and nuts where access is restricted. Its angled head, 1/2-inch external square drive and two gears suit common mechanical and assembly work.

Key features

▸ Two gears with maximum torque settings of 40 and 76 Nm
▸ Memory function and LED display for the selected torque level
▸ Variable-speed trigger with forward and reverse rotation
▸ LED work light, ergonomic Softgrip handle and belt clip

How it works and what it is for

A suitable impact socket attaches to the external square drive, while the impact mechanism delivers repeated pulses to turn the fastener. First gear prioritises control and second gear provides maximum torque. The tool suits assembly, maintenance and light automotive tasks in confined areas. Final tightening of safety-critical fasteners should be checked with a calibrated torque wrench.

Main technical specifications

▸ Rated voltage: 20 V
▸ No-load speed: 0–1,700 rpm in gear 1 and 0–2,250 rpm in gear 2
▸ Maximum torque: 40 Nm in gear 1 and 76 Nm in gear 2
▸ Impact rate: 0–2,400 and 0–3,400 impacts per minute
▸ Tool holder: 1/2-inch external square drive

Included accessories / compatibility

The set includes four impact sockets in 17, 19, 21 and 23 mm sizes, a 1/2-to-3/8-inch adapter and a storage case. The tool belongs to the PARKSIDE® X 20 V Team system. Battery and charger are not included.

Who it is recommended for

It is suitable for DIY users, workshop tasks and occasional mechanical maintenance that require angled access. Its 76 Nm maximum torque is best suited to light and medium fasteners, rather than heavily seized connections that demand higher torque.

Pros and cons

Pros
▸ Angled head reaches fasteners in confined spaces
▸ Two gears provide a choice of control or maximum torque
▸ Four sockets, an adapter and a storage case are included
▸ PARKSIDE® X 20 V Team compatibility, LED light and Softgrip handle
Cons
▸ Battery and charger must be obtained separately
▸ Maximum torque of 76 Nm is limited for very tight or seized fasteners

Battery / consumables advice

Use only a PARKSIDE® X 20 V Team battery and compatible charger. A higher battery capacity generally extends runtime but also adds weight. Select the capacity for the expected work duration and keep the impact sockets clean and free from damage.

Objective final opinion

This angle impact wrench combines access-friendly geometry, two torque levels and a useful accessory set. It is a practical option for routine fastening up to 76 Nm, provided a compatible battery is available and its torque limit suits the job.
