Could you use 2 of these biners and a dogbone to make an "un-official"...

Could you use 2 of these biners and a dogbone to make an "un-official" quickdraw, or would it be better just to buy a regular quickdraw?

get quickdraws (my favorites are BD quickwires and BD hotwires) but if you have a crapload of runners and oavals save your dough and make some

You can use two of these, or any other carabiners, and a runner to make a quickdraw. Considering the cheapest quickdraws are around 11 dollars, even these ovals, the cheapest of carabiners, and a runner will cost you more than that. Plus those cheap quickdraws are still a lighter, stronger, and easier handling package. Look for multi-packs on sale for the best deals.
