Abstract
A device for attracting metal particles which comprises a longitudinal member having a first and second end and a first magnet connected to the first end. The first magnet has a surface. The device further includes a housing connected to the second end which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal member. The housing has a second magnet disposed therein. A plate having a surface area is secured to the housing and is positioned within a proximity to the second magnet such that the plate is capable of attracting metal pieces thereto. The surface area of the plate has a substantially larger square area than the surface of the first magnet.
