And will report back. Seems like a decent price.
I'm pretty sure those will work fine, but the actual dimensions on the Pocket Edge power adapter are slightly different. I do think the H tip will work, but my actual tip OD is 3.2mm and the ID is 1.3 - although the actual pin is much smaller. My concern with that extra OD is twofold. First, will it cause the jack to loosen over time and, second, will that extra diameter (around 8 thousandths) keep the tip from proper contact inside the barrel.

Unfortunately the only 3.2 mm OD plug I can find has too narrow an ID.

Has anyone tried to sand off a few thous of diameter off the the H plug?
