Coronet products are made of the finest metals and materials and are held to the highest standards of quality control. Every piece is polished and inspected before leaving the factory. Close attention is paid to detail to make sure that all items will pass the criteria for breed and disciple regulations where appropriate. This bit is the ultimate in no-pinch. It is nothing but smooth joints allthe way across. A really handy bit when a little more control is needed but a snaffle is still required.
