The single-jointed design provides a familiar snaffle feel while the shanks introduce a light amount of leverage for more refined communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't settle for \"novelty\" mini tack. This is a professional-grade bit featuring high-shine stainless steel shanks that won't pit or corrode.
