Having only owned and used about 5 different kinds of draws, I can still say that these are my favourite, and I'm not looking any more for quickdraws. When I found and tried these, they felt significantly easier to clip the rope into than my previous fav. (After trying and comparing a couple of these, I just had to have a dozen.) For me, these are the best I've found, given that this is my spec list: ok price, easy to clip (both subjective of course,) minimum 9 kN open-strength, at least wire on rope end.
