So for ~$210 in parts and a $40 tool investment you could make 150 PWM cables at $1.40 a piece.
Yes, they are more expensive than $0.65. However, the trade off is being able to make PWM cables any size you want. This should help clean up a robots wiring.

Assuming you treat your tools well, it's probably less because you can reuse the tool year after year.
