Short answer: the Fanttik S2 Pro Max is not the more powerful driver. Both list the same 7 torque gears, the same 250 RPM, the same 2000 mAh battery and the same price. Pick the S2 Pro Max for its 5V/2A charging and pop-up case; pick the S2 Pro for 20 bits in a magnetic storage box.
Quick Answer: S2 Pro vs S2 Pro Max at a Glance
Most "Pro vs Pro Max" comparisons come down to motor output. This one does not. On Fanttik's published specification table, the two cordless electric screwdrivers list the same torque, speed and battery capacity — the differences sit in the charging input, the bit count and the case they ship in.

|---|---|---|
| Torque modes | 7 gears, 0.5/1/2/3/4/5/6/8 N·m | 7 gears, 0.5/1/2/3/4/5/6/8 N·m |
| Speed | 250 RPM | 250 RPM |
| Battery & charging | 2000 mAh + 5V/1A charging | 2000 mAh + 5V/2A charging |
| S2 magnetic bits included | 20 | 16 |

The Differences in Detail
1. Torque and speed: identical on every published figure
Both the S2 Pro and the S2 Pro Max are listed with 7 torque gears at 0.5/1/2/3/4/5/6/8 N·m and a 250 RPM driving speed. Fanttik does not publish a higher torque or speed rating for the Max. If you were expecting the Pro Max to break loose a fastener the Pro cannot, that is not what the spec sheet says separates them.
Both are listed for the same jobs — furniture installation and PC repair. Flat-pack cam locks, chair frames, desk legs, case screws, drive cages, motherboard standoffs: the same gear range and the same rotation speed apply to either one, so the choice between them does not come down to capability on paper.
2. Charging input: 5V/1A vs 5V/2A
This is the one spec where the Pro Max has a measurable advantage. Both carry a 2000 mAh battery, but the S2 Pro is rated for 5V/1A charging while the S2 Pro Max is rated for 5V/2A — double the charging current into the same size cell.
If you use a cordless screwdriver in bursts — an hour of assembly, then back on the charger, then another hour — the faster input is the difference that shows up in real use. If your driver mostly lives in a drawer between jobs and charges overnight, both models list the same battery capacity, so the charging rate stops mattering.
3. Bit count: 20 vs 16
The S2 Pro ships with 20 S2 magnetic bits; the S2 Pro Max ships with 16. This is the counter-intuitive part of the lineup, and it is the single most common reason people end up wanting the non-Max model: the "lower" product is the fuller kit.
Four bits is not a large gap in absolute terms, but it matters if the driver is your only set. If you already own a bit collection, or you buy bits by the specific size you need, the difference collapses to almost nothing. Both models use S2 magnetic bits, so a bit you buy for one is the same class of bit the other uses — see our Fanttik replacement bits fit and size guide before ordering spares.
4. Storage: magnetic box vs pop-up case
The S2 Pro comes in a premium magnetic storage box; the S2 Pro Max uses pop-up storage. This is a workflow preference rather than a quality ranking.
A magnetic box generally holds loose bits in place and sits flat on a bench or a shelf — useful if the kit lives in one spot and gets opened on a work surface. Pop-up storage tends to present the contents as soon as you open it, which suits a kit that gets carried to the job rather than worked out of. Neither model is listed as having a pivoting handle, and both include the 90° angle adapter and extended rod, so awkward-angle access is handled the same way on either one.
5. Price: identical, so nothing is being traded away
At the time of writing both the S2 Pro and the S2 Pro Max are listed at $79.99 USD. Because the price is the same, this is not a "spend more for more" decision — it is a straight preference between more bits in a magnetic box and faster charging in a pop-up case. Check the current price on each product page before you order, since promotions change.
Which One Should You Buy?
- Buy the S2 Pro Max if you charge between sessions. The 5V/2A input is the only functional upgrade in the pair, and it pays off when the driver gets used in repeated bursts — a long furniture build, a weekend of PC work, a move-in week of flat-pack assembly.
- Buy the S2 Pro if this is your first bit set. Twenty bits versus sixteen, plus the premium magnetic storage box, makes it the more complete out-of-box kit at the same price.
- Buy the S2 Pro if the kit lives on a bench. The magnetic box holds bits in place and suits a tool that is opened on a work surface and put back in the same place.
- Buy the S2 Pro Max if the kit travels. Pop-up storage gets you into the contents faster when the tool is carried to wherever the job is.
- Either one for furniture and PC work. Fanttik lists both as suitable for furniture installation and PC repair, with the same 7 torque gears and 250 RPM, so neither choice limits what you can build or repair.
FAQ
Is the Fanttik S2 Pro Max more powerful than the S2 Pro?
No. Both list the same 7 torque gears (0.5/1/2/3/4/5/6/8 N·m) and the same 250 RPM speed. The "Max" in the name refers to the kit configuration, not to a stronger motor.
What is the difference between the S2 Pro and S2 Pro Max?
Three things: charging input (5V/1A on the Pro vs 5V/2A on the Pro Max), included bits (20 vs 16), and storage (premium magnetic box vs pop-up storage). Torque, speed, battery capacity, LED light, the 90° angle adapter and extended rod, and the price are the same on both.
Do the S2 Pro and S2 Pro Max use the same bits?
Both are specified with S2 magnetic bits — the S2 Pro includes 20 of them and the S2 Pro Max includes 16. If you need to replace or extend a set, check the replacement bits fit guide for the correct sizes.
Do either of them have a pivoting handle?
No — both models are listed as non-pivoting. Both include a 90° angle adapter and an extended rod for reaching fasteners in tight or recessed positions.
