Recommendations for a power adaptor for small devices
I need something universal that works for many devices because I keep losing them
Something for a massage gun, diffuser, etc etc

I'm not sure which one it is
It's a circle shape
Are you looking for something like this?

I think they mean a normal 9v to power small electronics
If you don't know anything simple about different device voltages, then you definitely shouldn't be trying to swap power supplies.
You're the reason that electrical work is done with licenced professionals.
thats a bit much mate lol relax
Photo of plugs?
You are in Sydney I see - try wagner electronics.
Check the plug size and wiring type.
You will need to check the voltage of the adaptor you have (supplied with the devices) and current.Make sure you 'match' the voltage, and either 'match' or have a 'greater' current rating. The device will only draw what it needs/wants from the adaptor. If the supply is lower (current) then you have a problem. If the voltage doesn't match, then you have a problem.
Wagner will have a vast range of adaptors and tips to sort you out.
cheers mate
@Moneyinthebank: definitely need to check requirements of each device in terms of Volts and Amps.
There is often some fine print next to the input plug, or on a sticker on the device. If not, you need to rely on the output of the existing 240v adapter, and/or any paperwork you have for the device.Look at these devices at Wagner for starters:

(probably too weak for your devices)https://www.wagneronline.com.au/48w-multi-voltage-3v-13-8v/p…
(better, but need to check your devices)Only when you know all your device requirements can you select the right universal power supply
@Moneyinthebank: No prob. Just remember to check the details - Voltage (match), wiring (polarity and match it), and current (amps - equal or greater).
Warning: you can kill some devices with reverse polarity.
With multipurpose adapters you can insert the plug tips either way so that the centre contact is either positive or negative. That's because different devices can use the same plug socket with different polarity. Some devices have protection from reverse polarity, while others do not.
Even Knowing this and being really careful for years, I managed to fry one electronic device that one time when I was in a hurry and got it mixed up.
If you want many voltages you are after a laboratory power supply, but you'll need to find correct plugs for each device and be very careful not to stuff it up!!
Jaycar sells them.
What kind of power adapter? An extension? Surge protector? 5V/9V/12V distribution? USB hub? Plug convertor? Solar power? Battery bank?
How lazy can people be when asking for help.
