The cheap ones you find on ebay will only work on bikes and cars with not any mechanical part near it, since they poke out a extra 1" or so over stock if there is like a crank or whatever spins in the area it will hit it.

The magnet on mine only pokes out about 1/8-1/4"... and IMHO, it provides more area for the magnet to "grab crap".
Does it help? Tough call. I know it DOES catch iron filings, but would the filter not have caught them in the first place? Like was said above... it can't hurt.
