[12 x 9.5 x 5"] Having this kit and the ability to make cables at the length you need instead of buying and having a bunch of pre-cabled lengths is invaluable! This kit also makes it really easy, including everything you need to get started. The fact that the tool includes a cheat sheet on it with the order is great to reference. With watching a few tutorial videos and practicing a bit, it has been very easy to pickup. 5
