It depends on the kind of crayfish. In the US, most crayfish don't get bigger than maybe 40-50 grams. The largest crayfish in the world, Astacopsis gouldi, found in Tasmania, can grow to over 7 pounds.

The average Crayfish only seems to reach a total body length of 5 to 6 inches in length, whereas a Lobster can reach anywhere from 9 to 12 inches long.

The chelipeds aren't really related to the movement of the crayfish itself, unconciously these appendages might move the crayfish, but really the chelipeds are a form of defense and used for food handling, much like the one big claw of the "Fiddler" Crab.
