A cone-shaped device that attaches to smooth surfaces when you push it against them.

Suction cups can hold so much weight because air pressure helps it. The more surface area it has, the more air pressure is holding it onto the surface after you create a soft vacuum by pushing the air out from underneath.

For this reason, suction cups don't work in outer space. You have been warned.
