You can epoxy a large washer to the bottom of the pan and stick the magnet to it.

Forget the magnet--Get a glue on heater pad. They are offered by Kats --Zerostart-- Arcticfox -- Wolverine ETC. They are a flexable silicone hot pad you put on with Silicone sealant. They come in 25 thru 1000 watt and are the real Mcoy. All the auto stores here stock them , even the Wasilla Wallymart has them. We use them on EVERYTING! Even have one on my snow plow hydraulic unit . I have never had one burn out and their heat transfer is very efficent. Search the net with "oil pan heater pad"

What the hell does a heater pad have to do with a debris magnet?

He probably thought the OP was talking about the magnetic Katz heaters for heating the oil pan.

Another option would be to put a neodymium magnet on the oil filter.

OOOOPPPS! My bad. Head obviously in my Keester. I was dealing with getting rid of a magnetic stick on heater on my Bobcat oil pan and was trying to figgure a way to get under the pan with a silicone pad and my thought process went hyper link. Dummy Dummy !
