> How do I get that power into my gadgets?

Wires and the proper size plug tip.

> There is no option for buying a bag of 1000 tips.

Incorrect. You can buy the tips, but yes, buying 1000 different sized tips will be costly.

I.e., example:

More digging can uncover even larger packs of "tips".

You just need to make sure the "tips" you obtain all match for the method you use for attaching to the power supply.

Also, be careful with polarity with this method, it will be very easy to get the 'tip' attached with reverse polarity using this method, and not all devices will be protected against reverse polarity.
