Yep J.A.F.E. nailed it I was actually going to see if the Snap On guy that comes to our work had them I wanted to see how well they were made. I think they have 2 sizes available.

If you see them, or better yet, buy them please post your impressions. I'm curious. I'll ask my SO dealer if I remember but these visits are usually pretty brief.

I seem to recall HF had them at one time but a quick check of the web site didn't find them.

Those snap on ones are $45 each. Someone had a recent ebay listing with only "snap on extension" in the title, so I don't think the bidding went as high as it should have. I think they sold for $20 each, but I could be way off.

It's definitely an interesting mechanism. I don't recall seeing them at HF. The only thing I remember is an extension with a telescoping magnet in the center, to hold the fastener, but not necessarily extend the extension.

Here's an alternative in 1/4 drive. I think the handle has a female end so it could act like a telescopic extension
