By all means we should be installing anchors with components that can be replaced when they wear. However, installing sub-standard components like this simply because it saves time or people re-tying doesn't seem acceptable to me. How long does it take to clip in hard, thread the rope and re-tie?

Surely as a climbing community we can support a stance where if these quick-clips are going to be used then they should be appropriate rated hardware, or else the traditional mallions or twisted shackles are used to remove the potential for failure?
