    Sleeving kits can be a PITA to do properly. I hate to think how many hours I have used up on sleeving.

    Spiral wrap is easier to use but perhaps not quite so nice. It can be got in a variety of colours and sizes. Its dead handy for tidying a whole bunch of wires together. Here are some examples from Alphacool but I think Maplin in town do it also.

    Sleeving, spiral wrap, heatshrink tube, tie wraps and good old electrical tape...all essentials in a modders toolkit :)

    True that, 101 uses for it and a hell of a lot easier then sleeving kits. Oh and pull ties, gotta love pull ties, I used to use that twisty wire stuff to keep wires together but i'm a pull tie convert. I ordered a few lapping kits from easypckits.com, and the guy gave me a few free bags of pull ties, I shed a tear and mouthed a silent "thank you!" he also gave me a free lapping kit as well.

    I've actually found sleeving kits seem to take up more space than just the plain wire. Its only really usefull when sleeving PATA cables... but who uses those anymore?
