# Magnetic device emplacement tool

## Abstract

A system includes a magnetic device and an emplacement tool. The emplacement tool includes at least one magnetic rotating member rotatable about a first axis and configured to adhere to a ferrous surface. The emplacement tool also includes a friction fit head configured to hold the magnetic device between internal surfaces of the friction fit head on opposing sides. The emplacement tool further includes a coupler connected to the at least one magnetic rotating member. The coupler is configured to attach to the friction fit head such that the friction fit head extends along a second axis different than the first axis.
