An organizer for a plurality of metallic objects has a nonmetallic housing and a magnetic core. The nonmetallic housing has opposing top and bottom external surfaces. A ridge projects from a periphery of the top external surface. The magnetic core attracts metal towards the geometric center of the top external surface and towards the ridge at the periphery of the top external surface. In some implementations, portions of the magnetic field attract metal in the directions: (i) perpendicular to the geometric center of the top external surface; (ii) outward from the geometric center of the top external surface; and (iii) toward the ridge on the top external surface. Implementations have the magnetic core with a square cross section and north and south poles separated by a distance substantially less than the width of the substantially square cross section, and with its magnetic field in the shape of a torus.
