Which is pretty much what a power jack on a laptop is.

I actually prefer this to the crappy RS pump, although I still stick with my trusty Soldapult at work for big stuff, braid is better for fine work and SMT. Make sure you get(have) a decent wattage iron, modern systems have some pretty substantial power planes that require some decent wattage to work with.
