How useful for car work would one of these flexible extensions be?

The amount of torque you can apply through one is minimal.

What I'd like 'cos I left mine behind when I stopped working, is a
magnetic dish to keep bits in. Splendid device.

What is it that makes a magnetic bowl better than something like a

Is it that the magnetic bowl can be placed on the car or that the bowl
holds nuts & bolts even after it has been knocked by mistake?
