I built my own using 3 150 ohm 2 watt resistors from Fry's Electronics. I put them in parallel with the wires on one side soldered to the center connector of a coax connector. I bent the other wires back over the resistors and soldered them, along with some coax braid to the connector shell. Testing the result with a MFJ antenna analyzer showed 1.0:1 through the HF bands and about 1.3:1 on 2 meters. Result: a 6 watt dummy load.
For more power, I probably would by a commercial dummy load, but this solution involved the least travel and elapsed time.
