The specification discloses a magnetizable device for engaging articles of varying surface contours. The device is characterized by a number of independently movable magnetizable elements which depend from a slot in the device housing; the elements being retained by element-arresting projections extending from each element's upper-most end. In one embodiment, the slot of the present invention is a bobbin assembly, including first and second halves which join to define a substantially rectangular slot.
