• Hey N3rrd: 12 gauge wire is 0.08080810 inches diameter. Use that to figure out the scale in the image and then calculate the length. :-)

• lol, I have a chart of wire gauge diameters, but I'm a visual learner? Well, either that, or I'm really lazy.

  Regardless, I gave him a chance to post a picture of the Makers Manifesto.

• I've had my "Radioshack" version for a few years now. LOVE it. So if MAKE sells out, check out theirs (same price, but no extras).

  And yes, I'm order a few of the MAKE ones as gifts. And a spare for me!

• Looking for the size? I left mine at the office, but from memory, (and a nearby ruler, I'd say it measures... 2" long folded up. Oh, and the RadioShack URL for their version is:

  http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104745&cp

  Messed up the URL link the first time.

• I'm at the office now. It measures 2.25" long, 0.5" thick, and 13/16" wide.

  It's Monday, and I'm already making the order-takers at MAKE grumpy with my calls to order some... (they're not available yet).

• Ok maybe I am blind but couldn't find this at the Make store.

• Yeah I know what you mean. I must have checked this site about 50 times today. Can't wait to get one of these.
