Question KK Snaffle?

I would like to purchase a gentle-er bit than the one I'm using at the moment (single-joined loose ring snaffle, hate the nutcracker effect) Does anyone have experience with KK Snaffles? Heres one I'm looking at. I like the double join and thick bars.

KK Training Bit Standard

Opinions?

Single joined loose ring snaffles and ones with links are practically the same thing in my opinion.

Some horses i've seen like the linked ones because they can play with it in their mouths... but that is about the only difference I've seen between the two. They are booth equally mild so to say.

You can't get a nut cracker affect out of a single snaffle (but if the bit is too big for your horses mouth it may have some similar affects but not as harsh).
