That is what I use when I change my oil, but they are also useful for getting bolts into holes with out dropping the bolt. These appear to be the same principal, but less useful. The magnets I got don't attach themselves to anything else, but the bolt or the nut, in the socket. They don't pull your tool towards the closest piece of metal. These sockets also look like they are bigger diameter, so you can grab turn them by hand easier. That makes them appear to be less useful.
