Or if you do really want to make one yourself, it's just a matter of connecting wires 1-40 from the 2.5" connector to 1-40 on the 3.5" connector.

Wires 41-44 on the 2.5" connector are power supply and are not used.
For power to the 3.5" drive, it's best to solder wires directly to the back of the computer's power input socket.

For crimping tools, I've always used a small engineers vice and never had any problems.

As mentioned, the cable pitch between the connectors are different, so you need to solder all 40 joints by hand in order to connect the two different pitch cables.
