A holder for a box of staples or loose carpet tacks, nails, screws and the like discrete magnetizable items is provided. A magnet is located on the underneath side of the top closure member for the holder to which a plurality of loose carpet tacks may become attached and which are separated from a supply thereof when the holder is shaken, making for easy, safe and injury free retrieval of carpet tracks from the holder by a carpet installer. The tacks can then, if desired, be temporarily attached to a magnet provided on the outside of the front wall of the holder providing ready access by the carpet installer to the tacks as and when needed during installation of carpeting. A box of staples can be carried instead in the holder, if desired, whereby the lines of staples can be kept intact and in unbroken condition prior to being loaded into a staple gun. One or more intact lines of staples can be temporarily attached to the magnet on the outside of the front wall of the holder, making such readily accessible by the carpet installer for loading into a staple gun.

Holder for a plurality of loose carpet tacks, nails, screws and the like discrete items capable of being attracted to a magnet, said holder being of a box-like structure and being defined by planar, spaced-apart, parallel front and back walls, and parallel, spaced-apart side walls, said box-like structure being further defined by a closed bottom and an open top whereby to define an internal, elongated cavity for the holding of said plurality of loose, discrete items for use, a closure member for said open top defined by an inner planar surface, and a planar magnet being attached to said planar inner surface of the said closure, whereby as the discrete items in the holder are used and the number of loose discrete items remaining in the holder diminishes so that any of such items remaining becomes less accessible, certain of the remaining such items can be made readily available to the user at the top of the holder and easily accessible for use by the user shaking the holder and causing the diminished supply of discrete items to contact the said magnet whereby certain of said discrete items will be attracted and separated from the others in the diminished supply and detachably held by the magnet.
