Claim:
1. A magnetic heat sink device for removing heat from an external insulation metallic member and having a longitudinal axis comprising: a base assembly comprising a plurality of magnets, a base having a central location and a generally circular periphery disposed radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis and defining a plurality of holders sized to receive said magnets and disposed adjacent said periphery, each of said holders being a castellated socket having an axial socket wall which projects axially upwardly from said base, an insert configured to engage an interior surface of said socket wall such that each of said magnets is contained in said socket by said insert, a baseplate of ferromagnetic material having a bottom surface disposed axially proximate at least one of the plurality of magnets whereby said at least one magnet is in magnetic communication with said baseplate, wherein said bottom surface defines a plane oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and adapted to magnetically bond with the metallic member, and an array of radially extending fins in thermal communication with said baseplate, and projecting longitudinally upwardly so that heat applied to said baseplate from a member is conducted to said fins and dissipated therefrom into the ambient environment, and a plurality of resilient arms at said central location defining a handle retention pocket coaxial with the longitudinal axis: and a handle extending longitudinally in upright fashion from said handle retention pocket.
