Must have bits

I love discussion that revolve around bits because there is so much to learn about them.

The discussion I want to get started, is what are bits that you keep in your "every day" tack locker that you find is great to keep on hand hen working with horses? And why is it that you've chosen to keep it in your daily/regular use bin? Maybe mention what discipline(s) you're into.

Question: why would a horse choose a double jointed over a single jointed, barring mouth conformation?
When you pull the reins, there is less of a pinching action (nutcracker effect) with a double-jointed because of the positive width of the middle piece. Just take either bit, put your finger in the middle, and squeeze the outer parts together...
