A mounting magnet is disposed on the second surface, whereby the tool holder can be magnetically mounted to a metallic work surface. The detent structure may preferably include at least one indentation disposed along at least one side of the receiving magnet, and at least one projection disposed along at least one inner side surface of the longitudinal channel for engaging the indentation of the receiving magnet.
