Abstract: A flexible magnetic tool holder comprising a first flexible layer having an inner surface and an outer surface; a second flexible layer having an inner surface and an outer surface; a plurality of magnets disposed between said inner surfaces of said first and second layers where the plurality of magnets are arranged in a predetermined array such that adjacent magnets are spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and means for coupling the first flexible layer to the second flexible layer. The tool holder is flexible along the first and second directions thereby permitting the tool holder to conform to surfaces having various contours.
