We use the global 21cm signal to constrain the abundance of spinning PBHs in mass range of $2 10^13, 10^18$ grams. We consider several extended PBH distribution models. Our results show that 21cm can set the most stringent PBH bounds in our mass window. Compared with constraints set by Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) data, 21-cm limits are more stringent by about two orders of magnitudes. PBHs with higher spin are typically more strongly constrained. Our 21cm constraints for the monochromatic mass distribution rule out spinless PBHs with initial mass below $1.4 10^17\ g$, whereas extreme Kerr PBHs with reduced initial spin of $a_0=0.999$ are excluded as the dominant dark matter component for masses below $6 10^17\ g$. We also derived limits for the log-normal, power-law and critical collapse distributions.
