I find the Fanttik S2 Pro handy for small screws inside the Jeep. The angle attachment reaches tight corners and the LED ring lights up the screw. I couldn’t loosen larger screws with it. These are my first impressions of the tool I bought myself.

01 / FIELD NOTE
The result at a glance
- Well suited to small screw jobs inside the Jeep.
- The angle attachment helps with small screws in tight spaces.
- For larger screws, it does not have enough power for me.
- Bought myself. My impressions come from the first jobs in the Jeep.

Included accessories and storage
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.

Light and adjustment on the tool itself
The LED ring lights up the screw directly, which helps in the dark Jeep interior. I use the rotary ring to select the torque setting shown on the display.

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.
It lets me reach small screws at the overhead panel and dashboard easily. I often need to work there because of accessories and electrics. I find the compact screwdriver useful for these jobs.

Where the power falls short
I could not loosen the larger screws, even with 6 Nm shown on the display. For tight fasteners I use more powerful tools. For me, the S2 Pro does not replace a cordless drill/driver or impact wrench.
This limit does not bother me for small jobs on the dashboard, interior and electrics. Even so, I would not pack it as my only tool for a trip.

My verdict for the Jeep interior
I am happy with the S2 Pro for small screws in the Jeep. The light and angle attachment help where space is tight. With my larger fingers, the bits are a little fiddly to remove from the box. And for larger screws, I need a different tool.
