Customer Review: Works as stated; could use more tips.
Summary: 4 Stars
BOTTOM LINE: Although I got what I wanted, I would be very reluctant to use this adapter for anything sensitive (e.g., laptop) but it seems fine for toys or other low-end electronics.
I bought this product in replacement for a similar one that ceased to function after falling off a workbench. This adapter only contained six different power tips (as compared to the 16 provided by the other product), and did not contain the one that I needed. Luckily, I was able to reuse a power tip from the previous product.
There is apparently no industry standard for these power tips, so you are taking a guess whether this particular product will fit your needs. It may show up and have no tip you can use.
There is nothing on the power tips to indicate what they are (e.g., 5 mm outer barrel by 2.5 mm inner barrel).
While the documentation did provide clear instructions on ensuring correct polarity (be SURE to get this right), there is no possible way to be sure you have the "right" power tip; you must use trial and error and if it seems to fit and you are getting power, then it works. This last point is the reason I would not use this on a laptop or other high-end device.
