i think something more like this one.. with the ring hanging just past the lip so you could keep using your own draws might work out better? Having used the ones you mention at the top of routes they would be very difficult to clip on lead and would probably add some rope drag

It might even be adequate (and cheaper) to add two quicklinks and a STEEL rap ring. Enough extension to get past that edge would be all you need.

I thought about that, but that chain just looks so damn long. Especially after you add a draw. Do they offer one with a shorter chain? I suppose you can cut it shorter, then reconnect the ring with a quick link. That might work best.
BTW, I love the description on the REI page:
"Place two anchors together for even greater enduring strength"
That sold me!

You may want to consider changing your thread title. The draw didn't snap, it cut on the rock's edge. The title also suggests that the Petzl draw was faulty when the failure was the result of a poorly placed bolt. Any fabric draw could/would have failed in the same manner. "Quickdraw cut!! Partner Almost Decked..." seems more appropriate.

Do everyone a favor and put a quicklink and a few links of heavy gage chain on there so no one else gets a quick-draw cut. You can get the items at home depot for a couple of bucks.
