The device may include a deformable elbow portion which couples the magnetic element to the shaft. In one form, the deformable elbow portion is adapted to be manually plastically deformable to locate the magnetic element out of the axis of the elongated shaft. The 10 elbow may be in the form of a sleeve, arranged such that a first end of the sleeve fits over the distal end of the shaft and a second end of the sleeve fits over the magnetic element.7/8 -4 w ( LU weC L-I LL.L L Ij
