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

I've never used a flexible extension even though I've had one for
decades...I've often wished for a magnetic reach:

usually when nuts / bolts / whatever fall down a tight gap and create even
more work getting them back than the job in hand.
Illumination is also a good idea, flexible lamps and such likes
