The “e2™ Snap-up Lever” (also called Snap-up Lever, Lift Handle, or replacement snap-up tool) is a simple but practical accessory for Fastway e2™ and Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitches.

It’s a steel hook-and-handle tool (often two-piece for compact storage, with a rubber grip on many versions) that gives you leverage to lift the heavy spring bars (arms) onto the L-brackets on your trailer frame during hookup. This reduces back strain and the amount of lifting your trailer jack has to do. You slide it into position, lift, and the spring bar transfers onto the bracket—then secure it with the L-pins. It’s included with new hitches but sold separately as a replacement if lost, damaged, or if you want a spare.

Reviewers call it a “back saver,” “sturdy”, and comment about the phenomenal leverage offered by the tool. For more information about how to use the Snap-up lever, view the e2 hitch guide here.

What the e2™ Snap-Up Lever Can Do For You

The e2™ Snap-Up Lever saves you time and effort every time you hitch or unhitch. Instead of struggling with heavy spring arms or over-cranking your trailer jack, simply slide the lever into place and snap it up—the arms lift smoothly onto the L-brackets with minimal strain.

Once you have it, it becomes a permanent part of your towing kit. Compact (often two-piece for easy storage), durable, and always ready when you need extra leverage—especially when hitching alone or on uneven ground. No more back strain. No more fighting stubborn bars. No more wasted time or frustration.

Easy To Install

The e2™ Snap-Up Lever is engineered for instant usability—no complicated setup or special tools required. Whether you’re replacing a lost original or adding a spare to your kit, it’s ready to go straight out of the box. Simply keep it with your hitch components, and it works immediately with your existing Fastway e2™ or Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. Slide the hook end into position on the L-bracket, lift, and the spring arms glide smoothly into place. Once you’ve used it a couple of times, the motion becomes second nature. Whether you’re an experienced tower or relatively new to weight distribution hitches, the Snap-Up Lever upgrades your hitching routine with zero downtime and zero hassle.

Compact & Easy To Store

Unlike bulky pry bars, loose blocks, or makeshift levers, the e2™ Snap-Up Lever becomes a seamless, always-ready part of your towing kit. Its smart two-piece design (handle threads neatly into the hook on many versions) allows it to break down compactly for storage—about the size of a standard wrench set when disassembled. It tucks easily into your hitch box, toolbox, or even hangs discreetly on your trailer without rattling or taking up valuable space. No loose parts to chase after, no extra gear to remember, and no clutter in your truck bed. It stays out of the way until that moment you need extra leverage, then delivers powerful assistance and folds back down just as quickly. You gain peace of mind and convenience on every trip, with nothing extra to haul, lose, or forget.
