FIELD TEST · Outdoor & Gear
Compact, electric and very visible on social media: the Fanttik S2 Pro caught my attention. I wanted to know whether the advertising was backed by a tool that would actually help me work on the Jeep. So I bought one myself and tried it out — as a DIY mechanic, not a workshop professional, with a specific use in mind: small jobs inside the vehicle.
01 / FIELD NOTE
What is in the box
The cordless screwdriver comes with various bits, an extension and an angled attachment. The bits are labelled and neatly arranged in the box. That makes choosing easier, although removing them feels a little fiddly with larger fingers. A small compartment for magnetising the bits is included too.
Charging is via USB-C. An opening in the holder allows the screwdriver to be plugged in while stored there. What I like most is the organisation: tool and accessories stay together rather than lying around separately.
02 / FIELD NOTE
Light and adjustment on the tool itself
An LED light ring sits at the front. In poor lighting inside the Jeep, its usefulness quickly becomes clear: it illuminates the screw directly. Torque is adjusted using a rotating ring, with the selected level shown on the display. This is an operating aid; I did not independently measure the actual torque delivered in this test.
03 / FIELD NOTE
The angled attachment makes the difference
The angled attachment was a key reason I chose the S2 Pro. It pushes on and locks into place. Around the dashboard in particular, there is not always room for a straight screwdriver. With the attachment, I can reach smaller screws in tight corners.
In the Jeep, I demonstrate it around the overhead panel and dashboard, among other places. The smaller screws work well in this trial. That is its value for me: working in places I regularly need to access for accessories or electrics, without having to manoeuvre a long tool through the cramped interior each time.

Where the power falls short
The larger screws shown in the video reveal its limits. Even with the display set to 6 Nm, I cannot loosen them. That is an observation from this trial, not a measured torque value. The S2 Pro is an electric screwdriver, not a replacement for a powerful cordless drill-driver or impact wrench.
For my use, that is not a deal-breaker. Small jobs on the dashboard, interior and electrics are more common for me. Stuck or large fasteners need other tools. I would therefore not count on the S2 Pro as a universal off-road tool.
05 / FIELD NOTE
My verdict: a useful addition, not an all-rounder
After this first practical test, my view is positive for small jobs in the Jeep. The S2 Pro is easy to handle, the LED light helps and the angled attachment improves access. But fiddly bit removal and its limits with larger screws are part of the picture too. If you want an electric helper specifically for these smaller tasks, it is a worthwhile addition to your existing tools.
Disclosure: I bought the device myself; the test shown in the video is not sponsored. This is an initial practical impression. Battery life, long-term durability and torque were not systematically measured. I therefore deliberately omit a current price and an overall numerical score.
