Abstract: A Gripole has a first magnet encased in a first sheath that is in proximity to a first end of a thread that is attached to the first sheath. A second magnet encased in a second sheath that is in proximity to a second end of the thread that is attached to the second sheath. The first and second sheaths and thread are made from the group of sheath materials comprising: plastic, rubber and polymer materials. The first and second magnets may be brought together to hold an item. The first and second magnets may be attached to two different surfaces. The dual magnetic holder may be used in combination with one or more dual magnetic holder threaded through a loop formed by one or more holders. First and second magnets may be brought together to hold item(s) forming a loop by the thread surrounding a holding surface.
