          I mean, if you want to solder your own power adapter and don’t have any fear of producing something that could present a fire risk and put your home and family in danger, knock yourself out.

          I am ok buying one online for $10. I also don’t have time to solder my own power adapters to save $10.

            You’re overestimating the skill required. Also, these connections are almost always “low-voltage”, so the risks are easily mitigated.
