I bought a similar item called "Pac Jack", and the first time I tried to use it it sent my bike flying across the garage. Thankfully it didn't fall over or hit anything. It's not as full featured as the Snapjack unit, and has no rubber or ground gripping serrations. Buying it was basically like throwing money in a hole.
The front brak lock n side stand restraint is a fantastic idea. Thanks. Just bought a cbr250 and wanna clean n pub the chain. This is available on Amazon for usd25.
Fascinating. Thanks for this very detailed video review, which has also served the purpose of being a must see tutorial for owners of the product. Also, the hands in this video look like those of a veteran biker. Thanks for sharing.
Haha, thanks! We had a hard time making this video because it's so dang cold outside here that we had to cram everything into the garage. Not the best video quality but glad it works for you.
I don't think from what I am seeing that I would have a lot of confidence lifting my Kawasaki KLR 650 or my Yamaha XT 250. I'm sure that if properly adjusted it would perform as advertised but it looks too flimsy for me.
so basically you need 2-3 People, a thick heavy leather glove to prevent it from hurting you, a lot of practice, you need to be very carefull AND it takes alot of tries to make it eventually work? damn.. this video doesn't exactly sell the product if you ask me..

Are service/center stands not a thing anymore? Wait... the bike they're demonstrating on has a service stand clearly visible... Seems rather superfluous to me.
Obviously (at least I thought so), we're using the Snapjack on this motorcycle just to demonstrate the Snapjack. But in fact, this bike and the majority of motorcycles do not come with a center stand; it was a ~$400.00 option on this V-Strom that we installed and reviewed. Same with the current project bike, a 2015 Kawasaki Versys 650 LT. Very few motorcycles come with a center stand today. Also, using a rear swingarm stand has its own problems and doesn't work on all bikes. Plus, if you're traveling on the bike, you're not going to be carrying a rear swingarm stand with you.

I have a jack made of stainless steel bought on eBay from kedaross and works great.
Thanks for the video...I know now, not to use this.
Looks cool, I just use a piece of firewood and my lower back.
This is why Centerstands should be standard on all bikes.
