Egg bites prevent the horse from being pinched in the lips/mouth by the bite rings and provide a more stable feeling against the horse. Egg bite keeps the bit still in the horse's mouth.
The Lock Up mouthpiece prevents the nutcracker effect of standard split bites, reducing pressure on the lips.
The Lock Up is therefore gentler than a standard split bit, but it still puts pressure on the tongue and lances when shortening the reins.
Bombers bits are made in South Africa and are completely handmade, giving you the unique opportunity to choose how every little detail of the bit is designed. You can choose the type of mouthpiece you want, the type of rings/shackles, the thickness of the bit and whether you want different lengths on the right and left sides of the mouthpieces. The mouthpieces are made of sweet iron and brass and are shaped to distribute the pressure over a larger surface, rings/handles are made of stainless steel.
