PARKSIDE: A Cordless Drill Pulls an Airbus A380 and Sets a World Record

Here’s the translation to American English:

In an unprecedented event, the Lufthansa hangar in Munich, Germany, was the stage for an incredible feat that has left both experts and DIY enthusiasts in awe. A new 12 V cordless drill driver from the PARKSIDE brand successfully moved an Airbus A380, a giant of aviation weighing almost 300 tons, setting a new record in the Guinness World Records. The demonstration, which took place last weekend, was certified and supervised by an official panel, ensuring the validity of this attempt.

The drill, part of the PARKSIDE Performance series and known as PPBSSA 12 BF24 A1, displayed exceptional power by being able to drag the massive aircraft a distance of 143 centimeters. Weighing just 1.5 kg, this device offers 80 Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm and operates on a 12 V battery. To achieve the movement of the Airbus A380, a special winch was designed to connect the drill to the airplane, making this astonishing feat possible.

Martin Alles, brand director for Lidl International, highlighted that this victory represents not only a technical breakthrough but also symbolizes the values that PARKSIDE promotes. “The aim is to inspire people to take initiative and tackle new challenges on their own,” he stated. The brand seeks to become the ideal partner for those needing practical, high-performance solutions.

This challenge was carefully planned, with the support of engineers from the Technical University of Darmstadt, who conducted a feasibility study to ensure the safety of the event. All components of the drill were rigorously inspected, complying with the regulations set forth by Guinness World Records.

The PARKSIDE cordless drill driver has not only secured a place in the history of records but also stands out for its compact design and powerful brushless motor, allowing it to perform demanding DIY tasks with great precision. This tool, which promises to be the perfect ally for DIY enthusiasts, will be available in a convenient starter kit from now on.
