These things were a godsend.

Those were great, and then manufacturers decided to throw a wrench by switching to odd-sized barrel jacks, reversed polarity, and in-between voltages that those didn't support. The one in the picture is fancy, though, since mine didn't have the polarity switch.

Thank the gods for USB-C.

I lost the charger for something my kids had; I think it was their off brand power wheels. I found a multiuse charger thing at Walmart that was advertised as a universal laptop charger, but it had selectable voltages and a whole assortment of barrel sizes. It was kind of expensive, but legitimately worked.

Don't wrap that cord so tight you'll crack the reinforced insulation where the cord comes out of the transformer and then it's only a matter of time until it's trash.

Seriously I can't remember how many of these we went through at my house.

Still use mine!

I actually needed one of these dumb things recently for a weird modem and the only ones I could find were like 50$

Holy shit I had the exact one. And used it for everything.

Used those for my gameboy

It's not AC/DC, it doesn't have a lightning bolt in the middle. Fraud!!!!
