It is for real.  Geoff Palmer, maker of the Crank Case rack (an
excellent rack that locks with a U-lock but protects the lock from
assult, and also secures both wheels) brings along one of the jacks
when he does a demo.  He didn't actually break a lock for us in the
demos I saw, but he brought locks that had been broken with it.
