Since this handheld chainsaw has a USB-C port I just need a USB-C to GameCube controller adapter to test my theory
It’s a Fanttik USB C handheld chainsaw, standing next to a platinum GameCube on a desk in front of a plasma display.

Fanttik, the ubiquitous gadget brand, started as a reset after parent company Aukey was banned from Amazon for review fraud. It’s since built its business to astonishing heights by paying over 31,000 TikTokers to hype screwdrivers. Wild stuff in our story: www.theverge.com/report/82926...
Fanttik — a play on “fantastic,” not “fanatic” — had help getting started, too. By 2021, its parent company, Aukey, seemed poised to become the next Anker — the first Chinese electronics company to become a big brand in America by starting with high-quality phone chargers. But that summer, Aukey was among the 600 Chinese brands Amazon permanently banned for review fraud. Some of those companies were caught bribing customers to leave positive reviews on Amazon or to delete negative ones. The ban cost Aukey hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue, and all its profit for the year — it recorded a net loss of $90 million in 2021, according to public records. But it didn’t have much trouble bouncing back, because the flagship Aukey brand was just one of Aukey’s nearly 300 brand names. Following “the Amazon Incident,” as the company calls it, Aukey renamed itself to AuGroup, refocused on furniture, and publicly said it wouldn’t put more resources behind banned brands. But what about the 5 percent of its business dedicated to power tools? It consolidated those under a subsidiary with a new brand-first strategy: Fanttik. Before the incident, Fanttik primarily distributed other companies’ tools. But in 2021, the company’s CEO, Bo Du, rebooted the entire division, downsizing its staff to around 150 people and building product and brand development teams, he told an audience at the FastMoss Global Short Video Conference in January. Four years later, Fanttik tells The Verge it has sold approximately 5.5 million pieces of gear. One of the open secrets to Fanttik’s success is paying for reach. It spends millions to sponsor NASCAR drivers, UFC fighters, and NBA teams to build its brand — and it’s attracted a veritable army of over 31,000 TikTok creators competing to make its next screwdriver look like the coolest thing ever. This January, Fanttik CEO Bo Du revealed that 30 percent of the company’s sales come from TikTok alone. In just two years, it sold $25 million in tools that way. As of today, that number may be as high as $40 million, analytics company FastMoss estimates. The overwhelming majority of those sales and views come from creators, not Fanttik’s own channel. In one particularly successful video, a bearded man rushes the camera wide-eyed — “Ladies, mothers, wives: stop!” — before telling them to buy a Fanttik screwdriver for their husband’s or father’s next Christmas present. The video got 21 million views and sold 13,000 screwdrivers, according to FastMoss estimates. (The caption does not indicate that it’s a paid ad.)

I keep seeing Fanttik and Hoto tools on all my feeds and all over every Black Friday list so I asked @seanhollister.bsky.social to figure out how they just appeared from nowhere. Scandal! Huge influencer budgets! Ferocious gadget competition! A perfect Verge story -> www.theverge.com/report/82926...

What’s something you’ve been obsessed with lately? For me it’s been Fanttik tools 😔

As I put it in my pocket, I briefly wondered what “Designed by HOTO” meant. Was Hoto some fashion designer?

I didn’t think about it again — until Hoto and Fanttik, two Chinese rivals building unusually cool tools, had well and truly broken into the US. My report:

Bo Du founded Fanttik in 2020 with backing from Aukey, but the independent brand now operates from Shenzhen and makes its tools in China.

It's wild that amid at the other enshittification in major brands, companies with weird-ass names like Anker, Aukey, Fanttik, Inui, Flydigi, and Gamesir are just... doing the business.

Just making the products that do the thing well and that's it.

Hoto and Fanttik are trying to split the difference, and while not all their items are great, enough feel cool, powerful, and affordable that I'm not surprised it's working! They're poised to become household names.
